1) No Trespassing
I'm reasonably certain that trespassing isn't ok anywhere at any time. I don't see signs hanging around that say, "No Theft," "No Racketeering," or "No Telemarketing Fraud." They're not necessary. People either already know not to do those things or don't care that they're illegal.
But Trespassing needs to be posted, because we'll apparently assume it's fine otherwise.
Of course, if you live in the Midwest, what the sign really means is, "I'll shoot you if I see you on my property."
2) "Straight Only" Arrows
These serve no purpose except to distract you by making you panic that you're in a turn only lane even though you're not. They are completely useless. The arrows that normally exist are on Turn Only lanes. They serve a good purpose.
However, I didn't know the Straight Only arrows existed until I almost plowed into a Hummer because I thought I was in the wrong lane. But no, I wasn't! There's just some superfluous arrow telling you things you already know in a fashion of a warning.
That's all I can think of. But I dislike them both fervently. Any suggestions?

I'd point out the Speed Hump signs at Purdue, but they're just so obvious:/
ReplyDeleteThe ones that say steep incline as you are going up a mountain road
ReplyDeletePossibility of falling rock zones. 'Cause otherwise, I ignore the possibility of debris in the road. And thanks, I'll now be ready to swerve at a moments notice when I see the avalanche.
ReplyDeleteHow about "slippery when wet" signs? It would be far more informative and interesting if they posted what things in this world are NOT slippery when wet.
ReplyDeleteNo loitering. If there's not a sign for that, I'mma loiter the %#$! out of that place!
