aaron. ironically, we are talking about purple lines here as well. not the kind that deal with railways but the kind on the roadways. you can see the -- we're in springfield. you can see that sign there that's telling you express lanes are coming up. people don't always know that. when you see that sign it's too late to get into the lane. so transurban the company that runs the express lanes is going to do something to clear up the confusion. their put -- they're going to be putting some purple lines on the roadways inside the existing white or yellow line. they surveyed about 1,200 drivers. about 50% of the drivers they surveyed weren't quite sure about where to get on to or off of the express lanes. that could be costly and dangerous. you can get a fine if you're in the lane without the proper ez pass. it's dangerous to make an abrupt lane change, so starting this month and into next month they'll be painting the lines on the roadway to give you another indicator that you either -- where you should be or shouldn't be where you are.
