So there I am walking past the car park, and there’s a sign there saying “PEDESTRIANS: Do Not Walk Under This Barrier”. Okay… but why address it to pedestrians? I mean, who else _would_ be walking under the barrier. Anyone else notice this kind of thing, or do I just need to get out more? ---

I guess it’d be okay to ride your unicycle under it? ---

Actually, the STM regulations specifically forbid people to ride their bicycle, tricycle, or unicycle in the metro. You can _bring_ your unicycle into the metro, you just can’t ride it. Was this a problem??! ---

So can a pedestrian crawl under it? Or roll, on rollerblades? Or set up a slip-and-slide and sliiiiiide on under? ---

On I-5 in San Diego there is a sign that says “Cruise Ships use Airport exit” and at UCSD Medical Center in the parking lot there was a sign that always made me go “huh” I have a picture somewhere, but its paper, anyway, the sign said " Street Level Enforced 24 Hours" ---
