Take on the digital LIE signs

As if Long Island didn't suck enough (Islanders, terrible accents,
hamptons) they also make it dangerous to drive on their highways.
There are thousands of studies about the dangers of distracted driving
but apparently nobody told the politicians out on Nassau and that
other county. They have these digital signs all over the LIE updating
drivers about travel times. The problem is that they don't spell out
the highway names instead using initials which is great if you live
out in that hellhole but sucks if you travel there once or twice per
year.

I see a sign yesterday which reads
GCP 8 minutes
CVE 22 minutes
SAG 10 minutes
NSP. 5 minutes

And honestly I think I am reading a different language because I have
no idea what 50% of that sign means.
