Yeah. I’ve seen a couple of ‘Sidewalk Ends’ signs. No shit, there is no sidewalk there. Thanks for letting me know.
This one always amuses me…
WARNING: Bicycle rain ahead.
I have to ask, what does the “bicycle rain” sign actually intend to convey? Because to me it conveys nothing but graphic design(er) incompetence.
My guess would be a crossing with a path used by both pedestrians and bikes.
Yup, these signs are very common, in my part of NY State anyway.
The human figure by itself means “people crossing” and the bicycle figure by itself means “bicycle crossing”–so it makes sense that the combination of the two would mean “people and bicycle crossing.”
Here these signs are meant for sidewalk plows in winter, to notify them of the point to stop plowing when there’s a lot of snow hiding the end. There’s one just up the street from me
.
OK, that makes sense at least.
Maybe, but I’ve seen ‘Sidewalk Ends’ signs in Houston and Corpus Christi.
Rounding errors are like that.
But it is funny.
Now, if we’d switch to the metric system…
We started a few decades ago but gave up. Just read that they were replacing the signs on the last stretch (I19 between Tucson and the Mexican border) changing from km back to miles.
On a related note, a local newspaper columnist said in today’s paper that he was visiting some of his wife’s relatives, and the church bulletin said they had an upcoming rummage sale and added, “No Clothing.” He said, “We skipped that event.” LOL
God knows what all the good parishioners look like naked. Why shouldn’t they all know too? 
Probably figuring it helps those illegals too much.
I saw a sign for a lost pet today. At the top of the sign in big letters it said:
MISSING CAT
WILLY
I thought, even if you find it, it’s probably too late to reattach it.
Having been to Bolinas, California many times, I wasn’t particularly surprised to see this sign:
Would that make any more sense to a local than it does to us, or is the lack of sense the point?
My guess is that it was supposed to be Yes on Measure Number such and such, but either the printer screwed up or somebody trimmed the sign.
I didn’t think the sign was a misprint, but who knows. Bolinas has long had a reputation for being an “eccentric” community–they used to tear down the road sign indicating the turn off to the town. There’s a distinct hippie/surfer vibe to the place so to me the sign didn’t seem unusual or out of place at all.
