I’m impressed by the commitment to the joke.
Man, my mom used to always hold up a fist in solidarity when she’d pass a sign. Wish she was around so I could send this to her =/
My sister and I will just have to appreciate it
The megaphone really ups the quality of this. Who even has one of those anyways? Where the heck do you even buy one?
Impressive work, gentlemen
I’ve always read that sign this way.
Also misunderstood:
“Do Not Pass” (and “Pass With Caution”)
As a kid, I wondered why my parents would continue driving past those without even flinching.
“Bridge Ices Before Road”
I originally took this “before” spatially, as like “in front of”. So the bridge ices in a very particular spot — just before the bridge ends and your route becomes road again.
Sounds like you were destined to be a technical writer.
When I was young the No Passing signs being on the opposite side of the road seemed odd, but no adult I asked knew why.
Eventually figured out it was on the opposite side so a car that is passing can see the sign.
Where? Because here in MI our do not pass signs are on the same side as the direction you are going.
I’m talking about No Passing Zone signs, sorry for the confusion.
and this is why symbolic signs are preferable to text, if native speakers of the language can’t reliably interpret them correctly it’s a bit of a problem!
When I was a kid I came up with a name for the group that snuck in and set up those signs, “Polite People for the Cessation of Byway Maintenance”. They always put their protest signs up a respectful distance away and always just the one in each direction, thus the polite people part.
/c/fuckcars out in force today
Unironically, I support completely ceasing all road construction (even “just” repaving, let alone widening) until every street has been brought up to “complete streets” standard with proper sidewalks and bike lanes. Car drivers do not deserve more spending until cyclists and pedestrians are made first-class citizens!
While we’re at it, also Change Traffic Conditions!
