And they just get dumber all the time. It seems out county government has seen fit to waste more money putting up stupid road signs instead of actually fixing the roads. This, of course, after raising the gas tax a few years ago to pay for road work. Which they did, of course, after the voter's turned down a 1 cent sales tax increase for the same thing. Anyway...
Two of the latest road signs? How about a pre-stop sign sign. Yup, that's right! Over the last few weeks I keep seeing these signs, about 75 feet in front of a regular stop sign, that is a yellow diamond with a picture of a stop sign on it. How dumb is that, since you can see the regular stop sign just pass the pre-stop sign! There's also a pre-speed limit sign, so when the speed limit drops from 55mph to 45mph, you now have that warning that the limit is dropping, just in case you get the urge to actually slow down early.
Because you know how well yellow traffic lights work...
And of course, the question is raised, should you stop at a
pre-stop sign sign, or just pretend that you're going to?
After all it is a picture of a legal stop sign...
