Those photos are all taken on rainy foggy days and that is one shiny, uniformly reflective parking lot surface. I wonder if the yellow pole on those horizontal lines forms enough of an optical illusion that leads somewhat distracted drivers to wildly misjudge the distance their vehicle is from the pole.

Especially with another similarly sited pole someone else posted, in similar weather conditions. and it looks like the pole is REALLY close in width to the lines on the ground. Could be a cool phenomenon to look into.

They need to have some serious speed to crawl up that far. Its 1000% stupid people who cant drive/dont care.
