I have tried to get the bridge underpasses marked with the names of the streets - for safety and emergency purposes - they have promised, but nothing yet. I have founf folks far off of where they think they are!
Great pictures!! Love the deer and twins.
They started installing the signs this year. They're also installing signs on the bridges and other overpasses for easy identification. As you say, it's nice to know where you are in case of an emergency.
Our local trails run through several counties. All are paved
I encounter many out-of-town riders and they've all commented on how easy the signs have made it to navigate them. There are trail maps located at the rest stops along the trails and the route numbers on the signs are on the maps.
At the bottom of each sign is the name of the organization that owns and maintains that trail. This has helped to keep informed of trail problems. The organization listed on the sign in the picture is Five Rivers MetroPark - I'm a member of their volunteer bike patrol group.
