And You Don’t Stop!

The stop sign column has occasioned a variety of interesting responses, including this visual piece from reader Tony which, needless to say, presents a mixed message.

    I was once riding on a section of highway (154 in CA) on which cyclists are permitted. At a specific exit (Foothill) it changes designation, and there is a sign directing cyclists etc to exit. Work was being done on the exit, so it was closed, and there was a sign directing traffic to continue to the next exit. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera, but the work crews did laugh about it with me and waved me through.

    It’s a no parking sign, somebody stuck a “stopping” sticker over the “parking” portion of the sign.
