At first, it seemed like some squiggly black lines had been ‘enhanced’ to look like snakes. But then we spotted simple shapes, like spirals and smiley faces. And then several more ornate shapes, as shown in this photo collage.

We searched online later, but couldn’t find an explanation for the whimsical ‘highway maintenance’ in this region. Although one of the ‘symbols’ seemed possibly related to the mascot at one of the Utah universities, so it’s possible that all of these road ‘repairs’ were simply the result of college students having fun :-)
