I think it would have been better if after “Zombies ahead” the sign read “Expect delays” instead of “Run.” A little more low-key approach. ---

Those signs are a cinch to “hack”. [http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/274/48/](http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/274/48/) ---

This has been a test of your Emergency Zombie Alert System. This was only a test. If this had been an actual zombie attack you would have been instructed where to hide in your area. This concludes this test of the Emergency Zombie Alert System. ---

Would have had a lot more bang for the buck, and certainly more value, if the signs had been located near 10th and Colorado. ---
