Signs Of The Time  -  Aug 13th, 2007 11:42am

A few years back I started to become interested in signs.  Maybe its making magic out of the mundane that draws me to them or maybe its just the fact that they are everywhere and we usually fail to notice how weird many of them are.  At the very least I hope you will get a laugh or two out of the signs I'll try to post here from now on.

First up - a sign that sits in the parking lot behind where I work.  I see this every day and it fascinates me.  Why someone would put a ped-xing sign in the middle of a parking lot bolted to either side of a speed-bump is simply beyond me but it makes me laugh every time I see it.

In case your thinking that might be a path on the left side forget it - its a drain and there's a steep ditch with slippery gravel between this parking lot and the other.  As for the right side of the bump its the backside of our building.  The signs have been there a long time and the bolts are starting to come out but hopefully this monument to misguided safety will remain for years to come.
