Interpret This Sign

[Fred]

I think it can be best translated as,"California's public education system has failed."

I especially like this last one. Just goes to show how mindless some drivers can be.

I'm glad to see that NorCal has proper english in their signage. It's like people in SoCal have too much sun on the brain.

This picture was taken today on a NorCal highway...

Caltrans needs to clean that crap off the side of the freeway (heh, heh). And oh, about that signage---maybe would've better (or the same?) to say "double check" for motorcyclists. Anyway, on another note--no, I didn't get it and therefore can't post the pic--, upon entering Reno, NV during its huge summer "Street Vibrations" (because Harleys are huge rattle traps?) the electronic freeway billboards read: "Riders: NO lane spliting in NV" (or similar verbage).

They finally fixed the SoCal signs to read like the NorCal signs.

This sign always bugged me.

Do we need to be told that ice only forms in cold weather?

Here in Massachusetts we have:

"Motorcycles are everywhere"

 

[chimneydoc]

Scince you can lane split in CA, it would be a good idea that the cagers look 2x before a lane change. Doc

I think the point they are trying to make is that when ice forms, it will form on a bridge long before it forms on a regular section of road due to the fact that a bridge is surrounded by cold air on all sides, not just on top of the road. But yes, this should be common knowledge either way.

Here in Los Angeles Area, the word "FOR" is in the phrase.
I saw couple of billboards last weekend...^^;

Our local paper picked up on this also:
Back-seat Driver: Look out for motorcycles as spring nears - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee

Yes, they fixed them after a few days of it being listed without the "for"

This article is especially funny. I wondered how long it would take a cager to ruin a wonderful campaign for motorcycle safety. I commute on my bike probably 4 of 5 days a week and have seriously noticed a difference in alertness of the cagers to my presence since these signs were up. I think it was doing a great service and should be re-implimented.

 

[stealthyman]

I would change it to read:

Drive safely
Look twice for motorcycles

And then change the safety tip each day to run through a list:

Day two ...

Drive safely
Don't text

Etc.

But not as bad as this one !!!

Just goes to show you how people here in CA are a bunch of whiny little cry-babies. Like the dude that said in the article how he has "enough to look out for", and apparently can't be bothered to look twice, especially for moto's that are weaving in and out of lanes. Translation : I'm a lazy douche who can't be bothered to pay attention, and can't admit I have zero reaction time, and things that move "fast" scare me, and it's everybody else's fault. But these same douches will practically kill themselves and everybody else behind them to avoid hitting a squirrel, and to weave miles around a bicyclist that's nowhere near them. It's ok to run lights and stop signs on a bicycle, and hold up traffic on one, but moto's changing lanes and lane splitting? Oh noooo, can't have that! All the times I've nearly been killed/hit, I was just cruising along in one lane for miles. These people just don't want to admit that THEY are at fault, and that THEY don't want to pay attention to anything while driving, other than cell phones, friends in the car, stereos, make-up, shaving, reading, sleeping, zoning out, bicycles, and squirrels. Oh, and anything that can be seen on the side of the road. As long it doesn't concern their driving, it's priority(except pulling out of driveways and merging, then it's everybody get-of-my-way-I-don't-care-who's-in-the-lane-when-I-pull-out). End Rant

Anyone wanna trade states?

 

[chunkygoat]

Both

Just a friendly reminder that motorcyclists are on the road, telling everybody to look twice.

 

[niben001]

Look out for motorcycles. I can see how it can go both ways though
