That’s either AI or the most stupidly-placed sign in the world
*Edit: I agree with the sentiment, it’s just in the middle of the bike lane/sidewalk
*Second Edit: as others users pointed out, sign does exist, it’s just a weird photo. There’s also a bike lane on the other side of the road, separated from the road by a fence and everything.
I retract my statement, it’s been a journey.
Frankly, the stupid sign placement doesn’t surprise me at all. I would almost be more inclined to think it was AI if it weren’t in the way of non-car street users!
Anyway, this community doesn’t (currently) have an explicit rule against AI. I might still remove AI slop anyway because people don’t like it on the grounds that the distraction it causes violates rule 4 or something like that, but it’s got to be more obvious than this. (I have also already seen and considered VonReposti’s argument about the blue sign and the dent, BTW.)
Didn’t take me long to find the sign at all

Walking around most places, the mandatory width for a sidewalk is often considered free game for basically anything. And we can never expand that and demand minimum clear-space with no intrusions because heaven for-fucking-bid pedestrians are comfortable.
Fun fact: Firefighters in the US and Canada are so bee-dicked that it’s actually their refusal to use smaller trucks that leads to insane road widths. Most other places in the world do more with smaller but the losers over here just can’t hack it.
Wait till Monday morning, 7:30.
The sign will still be blocking a bike path on Monday morning. No need to wait to see that.
Person finds picture of good public signage, posts it to appropriate community, the image is criticized for lack of context perfection. Unreal lol.
Edit: this sign’s placement in the middle of the sidewalk is really dumb but yeah one step forward two steps back and around the sign.
Person makes slop image, is criticized because it’s sloppy.
Tell me why you think it is slop?
In order to eliminate the traffic I had to become the traffic.
Welp, guess I’m not going to work tomorrow because there’s no busses nor metro (even within the city there’s shit for busses and no metro, and I have to travel two towns into the country where busses are mostly conceptual). Does “hopping a freight and hopefully not getting caught by the bulls in the yard and then hoping they slow down enough in the town I need to jump off in” count as “public transport?”
Know what? I think I’ll just drive.
Buy a bicycle
For 27km down a busy highway before 7am, with a backpack full of tools, manual labor for 8h, and 27km back down that busy highway to get home?
Do you bike 54km to your manual labor job every day?
Do you bike 54km to your manual labor job every day?
62km actually.
Fair enough lol. But still fuck that for like 4 reasons.
In the harbor here, employers ran into that issue. They couldn’t find anyone to work there anymore. Turns out you make more money working in a supermarket and bike than drive to the harbor and pay for the car and gas despite the harbor job making significant more.
Sorry, I’m running late. I am traffic.
