Here's another sign - I need help interpreting this one.
And yeah, not common.

Maybe they'll FINISH emptying them in Oregon, now that the deposit is doubling to 10 cents on April 1st.


No, I doubt it even so. Beer is liquid Alzheimers.

"No Outlet"

Most of the development in our metro area has been in the past 30 years and is based on the cul-de-sac centric design style. As such there are hundreds of miles of roads that are disconnected from the road network and only serve a few people who live in their respective subdivision/neighborhood.

It's really a shame.

Not sure...

...and I'm trying hard to imagine my most common rides, and I couldn't say what type of sign I see most. Maybe speed limit signs? Street name signs? I have no idea...

Here in the land of southern hospitality the most common signs are:
Keep Out
Private Property
Do Not Enter
Beware of Dog

And other such warm, welcoming messages.

One guy has a "Keep Out or Jail" spray painted on a sheet of plywood nailed to a tree.

Lots of Trump signs.

Not that common but often enough: "Cyclists Dismount"

No signs saying "Drivers get out".
