Texas has been doing something similar for a while, it's really pretty when things are in bloom.

Texas in the spring is wonderful. Everyone is out taking pictures in the massive fields of bluebonnets and indian paintbrush. Of course, it can also cause traffic issues as people pull over to do the photo op in the medians.

Giant shoulders mean this usually happens by the highway without trouble.
