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

I wonder what problem the original sign addressed. Because forbidding turning right for 2 ½ hours every morning sounds extremely specific, and sounds like one neighbor in particular had some beef with another or something, and got the city to put up the sign.

And maybe that neighbor left, or whichever problem was being addressed didn't exist anymore.

I know that's a thing because a long time ago, we had a "15mph - blind children at play" sign in our street, until someone pointed out that the blind child in question was now an adult and had moved out years ago, and the sign was just annoying everybody for nothing 🙂

In other words, the guy might have replaced a useless sign with another, equally useless one on his own dime. Maybe he could simply have called the city to wonder what the sign was for, and possibly have it reviewed and removed altogether.

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.

Guy did this in LA, correctly noting a lane on the 110 that goes to the 5 North.

Did you know you can just rent a line painting tool and buy a high vis vest and hard hat?

You can just get all the things you need to make a bike lane.

Nobody will question you.

Be the change.

Where meme?

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.

One of my favorite modern day quotes recently has been:

"People really do be using their free will out here."

Not a meme

Looking to bulk order "pedestrian zone" and "cycles only" signs some time soon 👀

Now that's what I call first world anarchy

Remember that guy that made that highway exit sign in California? https://youtu.be/26-4oARwfF4

Flock is watching.

I spent a weekend just filling all the potholes on my road. It wasn’t that expensive and it didn’t take long either. Turns out you can just do what you want
