Signs, Signs, Signs

The latest thing in FL inside communities is to post speeds such as 19 or 21 as the miles on the speed sign. The object is to catch the drivers attention. It works.

I like the Mile Markers. I do about 50,000 miles per year as a "traveling salesman". I have called in accidents, obvious "impaired" drivers and breakdowns. The various 911 or State Police have always thanked me for reporting the exact location of the problem. I think they help to maybe get rescue or police to the right place ASAP. JMHO.

My favorite sign is "BRAKE FOR MOOSE"....first time I saw one I said to myself....."Dam...good thing that sign was there....if I saw a moose cross the road,I'd never think to stop....just drive right into him,wreck the car and kill the moose"......D.O.S......saving lives every day

I've often wondered how the moose and deer know to only cross at the designated crossings...and if they don't, do they get a jaywalking ticket?
