street sigh poll

Y'gotta love street signs.
I voted for "do not enter" because there was one in front of the high school that I went to in Nashville. I figured I could use it as an excuse for cutting classes. But you have to get caught first, so I never needed it.

My second choice was the speed limit signs. I always love a good joke.

I can't look at a stop sign without thinking "Slide Tires On Pavement."

And then there's the "hidden driveway" sign. I enjoy the challenge of finding them.

How about those "slow children" signs? Seems like being a dummie is burden enough without the street department advertising it.

I saw a sign at the park that said "no dogs allowed." Don't they know dogs can't read?

I'm always cautious if I see a sign that says "stop ahead." I wouldn't want to run over a head.

Not far from where I live there is a sign that says "hill." What's so unusual about that? This is East Tennessee.

Some signs, I don't love.

I get teed off when I see those "all trucks must stop" signs. It should say "some trucks must stop," or "big trucks must stop." I just buzz right on by in my pickup, even if I'm pulling my scooter trailer. (In some states they say "all trucks and trailers must stop.") Truckers tell me that when you get to the scales, they have a sign that tells them to keep moving slowly. So they really don't stop.

I almost go postal over those school zone signs that say "15 mph on school days when children are present." How are you going to know?!!! And those signs that say "begin school zone." Would it be too much trouble to tell us where the school zone ends? (Okay, sometimes they do, but not often.)

The message here must be "Don't get old HM started."
