    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.)

        The sign will still be blocking a bike path on Monday morning. No need to wait to see that.

      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.
