On our recent trip to "The Cities" I noticed a road sign that got me thinking. It was a typical information/warning sign. One of those Square yellow signs tipped on its side to look like a diamond. This particular sign said, "CAUTION ROUGH ROAD". This made me think, what a great way for a county or city to save money. Simply put up a sign like this one which costs around a hundred bucks and save millions of dollars on road repair. Then, in turn, those same counties and cities could afford to buy even more money saving signs. Imagine the possibilities. To avoid rush hour traffic jams on a main thoroughfare, just post a "BRIDGE OUT" sign at various intersections or to really keep traffic moving a steady (speedy) pace, occasionally insert a "END ROADWORK" sign. Just for laughs stick up a "MERGE LEFT" sign then in ten feet or so, pot up a "MERGE RIGHT" one. For kicks I'm getting a "WATCH FOR FALLING ROCKS" sign installed at the end of my driveway and putting up a "DETOUR" sign in my neighbor's. And in a school zone, why not a "FAST CHILDREN" warning? Having trouble with a business competitor? A simple "NO PARKING AT ANY TIME" sign at the entrance to his parking lot can even the playing field. Give it some thought. Here's a few sample signs to work with. If you're nutty enough to be reading these blogs, you're certainly nutty enough to come up with some good ideas.
