Even though the
Signs of Worcester are pretty well under monitored, other communities have gone rogue. This NPR piece,
City Asks: Who Put Up All Those Stop Signs?, for example, alerts us to a real and present danger: the uncontrolled proliferation of stop signs. Not only is someone in Cranston RI putting up stop signs without permission, but the city is telling residents to obey the signs. A communique from the mayor's office noted that "drivers ... should not take this as a free pass. A stop sign is a stop sign."
The folks in the Midwest are having troubles as well. A railroad company in Mason City IA
put up stop signs without permission. Even the gentle souls of Canada have to endure
vigilante traffic justice.
Meanwhile, back at home, properly posted signs are reminding us not to park in a place where we'd probably not want to park anyway.
