What was effective as traffic control were Maltese crosses painted

The road was a state road to White Sands M.R. - 100 miles of 2 lane
over the tops and bottoms of sand dunes. The rate of head on was
over the limit. It was also a single road through sand so one
way in and out - and no emergency from White Sands.

You didn't want to leave your car (break down) on the side of the
road long, - the sand storms would polish down to bare metal.

To say nothing of what it did to the car's window glass...

remembered too.)
