Looking to bulk order “pedestrian zone” and “cycles only” signs some time soon 👀
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
My great grandma had a similar story, the bus stop was in front of my grandparent’s bedroom, they hated that people would gather in their bedroom window. she asked for the stop to be moved a few meters down the road, so it is between the houses and not in front of it. the municipality denied her.
Until that point the bus stop was nothing but a sign, she heard that they were going to remove it and install a proper bus stop with a bench and shade.
She asked the city build it a few meters down, still nothing.
the night before they began construction, my great grandma just moved the sign to where she wanted it. they built the bus stop where the sign was, and today, that bus stop is still where she wanted it to. Possibly until perpetuity
Possibility: They know it’s in the wrong spot. They don’t know why. So they figure someone screwed up, they don’t know who, but they don’t want it to be them or their department. So nobody says anything, and the stop remains unchanged.
Flock is watching.
Flock is getting kicked out of towns left and right.
Are people really praising this? I guess fuck the engineers who did a traffic study, and fuck the school children walking in that area from 7-7:30 I guess.
Or, hear me out, maybe the sign was just wrong. If they haven’t catch up in almost a year that was probably the case.
Won’t someone please think of the children 😭
We have a road that goes under a bridge so that you can make a right to go east on a 4 lane road. People would sit at that corner waiting to go left and it caused massive backups. (Which made no sense, why go under the bridge then? Use a different corner and make a right to go west!). We asked the city to make it right turn only - they interpreted it slightly differently and thought we meant people were heading straight the wrong way up a one way, rather than turning to that corner, came and put a temporary sign. I went with one of my kids, wearing safety vests, and moved the temporary sign to the corner we wanted it at.
Later the city came and put the permanent sign where we had it, and ALSO changed the paint on the road to make it one way right at the corner and disallowed left turns INTO that corner, they just broadly said no left. Which is good. Nobody should be stopping at the bottom of a bridge to wait to make a left turn.
It’s not like NOBODY does the left anymore, but there are not backups now because nobody is going to sit there waiting to go left, they get honked at.

Guy did this in LA, correctly noting a lane on the 110 that goes to the 5 North.
My friends and I stole a speed limit sign over a decade ago and they still haven’t replaced it.
They did replace the one on the other side of the road about 4 years ago.
20 years ago, our town had a war over an intersection.
Someone decided to upgrade a 3 way intersection, for a a dirt road going into the woods off a main artery. (rumored someone in town planning bought a house on that road and was trying to make it so they didnt have to wait a long time for a gap in traffic)
So they made it a 3 way stop unsteady of just the dirt road having a stop sign. This caused tragic to back up miles on either side, as it was pretty much the only stop on the main road going out to the town’s comercial district (100s of work vehicles traveling it at 9 and 5)
Almost immediatley, People started coming out with chain saws, and wpuld cut down the 4x4 wood signpost. Leaving the stump and the concrete block in the ground. Fairly quickly, the town ran out of room on the narrow strip between the road and the bike path, and started hammering in metal posts, wedged between the buried cement supports.
Guys with welders on their trucks started cutting those down flush with the ground. At one point, a cop car was stationed there overnight.
The police report detailed 2 trucks, with chain strung between them, driving on either side of the post at speed, wrapping the sign, and tearing it out of the ground before dropping the chain.
Thst was about as far as it got before town meeting, where an inquest was called for into the appropriateness , and approval process, and who had put in the work order etc. (There was some passage about the planning board being able to make minor changes to signage, etc without impact studies, and going through the approval process (which includes open forum, and with enough detractors to a project can force it to be put to a vote)
The main point of contention being how anyone qualified to be in that position could think that something that caused a 30-60 minute delay on a 5 mile road qualified as a ‘minor change’
Iirc the whole thing ended with the town cementing over that little strip (covering over all the metal and wood protrusions, and effectively signaling a stop sign couldn’t be put there anymore) and then several members of the planing commision, resigning their posts, which made the inquest moot.
Where funny?
No need to be funny. But it’s also not a meme. Not that most things here are.
