Around here, we need a sign that says, “warning: 25-45 year olds crossing a busy street wherever they want, when there’s a crosswalk with great visibility 15 feet away.”
I’m betting that the double sign is because it’s a non-standard sign. Standard signs can be found in the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices).* I didn’t do a deep search, but a keyword search did not pull it up. When you put up homebrewed signs, you need more redundancy than if you’re using standard signs.
- As with a lot of things, California has a slightly different MUTCD.
It’s not the spry, agile, quick-witted geezers that drivers need to be warned about. Just the slow, dim-witted, or disabled ones.
Can we get a sign for “Idiot college students who will stop in the middle of the street to text somebody crossing”?
Wow, I thought the signs were horrible, but since actual old geezers are happy with them, let 'em stay! 
Signs for things like children and deer make sense. They’re things that might run into the road unexpectedly.
What exactly am I supposed to do with the information that this sign provides? All it forewarns me of is that I might have to wait longer for pedestrians to cross the street than usual. But if there’s a slow, elderly person trying to cross the street, then I already know that because I can see the elderly person. If there isn’t an elderly person trying to cross the street, then I know that I don’t need to worry that one will suddenly appear, because they aren’t fast moving. They aren’t going to burst out the front door of a shop, leap over the foot traffic, and then laboriously inch their way across the zebra crossing.
I’d cancel the sign just because it’s a waste of money. It’s not worth even asking about whether the sign is PC or not, because it shouldn’t exist to begin with.
First of all, that’s because deer can’t read.
Second of all, WTF is wrong with that sign? Why does it look like that deer is prancing or has to pee or something?
Actually, yes it does. Looks way more like an elk than a whitetail.
That’s what the fuckers do! They either bound across the highway, looking kind of like that, OR they stand in the middle of the highway and blink at you (like I saw the other week).
Are you kidding? I love them and I look a lot like the one figure! But I also miss the days when handicapped plates on cars meant you had a handicapped driver/car with modified controls and not just a car getting parking options.
I’ve had to wait for far more pokey young adults crossing than for elderly people (or geezers, if you prefer). And from my experience, a younger person is far more likely to suddenly dart in front of you and then slow to a snail’s pace once in your path.
Either the sign is unnecessary, or it should be replaced with a standard pedestrian crossing sign.
I’d be OK with a sign showing a graphic of a clueless young twit on a cellphone. 
It looks like elderly people are also into fisting while they’re crossing the road.
I’m 62, close enough to “elderly” that I’d say I fit. There are enough of us with infirmaties that I’d say a little warning is warranted.
Besides, if you don’t want us crossing the street, I guess our only alternative is to go back to driving. Do you want THAT?
Not widely known - if there are a noticable number of elderly pedestrians using an intersection, the timing for the pedestrian signal is supposed to be extended to allow more time for crossing. There’s a formula based on the width of the street and anticipated walking speed.
