...or at least a ‘thank-you’ note from area riders
Whomever came up with this traffic-calming road safety solution deserves recognition by the American Motorcyclist Association. At least an award of some kind.

If more roads were striped this way, more people would ride motorcycles. Should I ever encounter a road striped this way, I’m going to, uh — forgive the cliche -- ‘lean into it’, and maybe speed up a little, too.

PS – As bees are drawn to pollen and flies are attracted to you-know-what, if ever authorities wanted to ticket hooligans for violating traffic laws, striping a road like this might be an easy way to entrap them.
Excluding work zones, school zones and one second of US-1 in Philly, we don’t have traffic camera ticketing in PA and local/municipal police forces are forbidden by state law from using radar. So, these traffic calming techniques are all we have to control traffic speeds.
it’s a matter of doing the best you can within the available budget.
