This is going to sound the beginning of the blog entries, when everything seemed new and different. We discussed once
peculiarities driving around here, with the 4-way stops, traffic lights after the junction and that you can go red if you turn right. Today we bring a series of signs and posters that we see often in Rockford. Some of the photos are ours and not others, because they always have the camera handy.
This put it a language issue: the economy of the English language or laziness of its speakers (of course, Ben, you do not). Otherwise there does not explain that you mean Pedestrian crossing (pedestrian crossing).
With these signals There is some controversy: some people say they have a positive effect and that drivers slow down in those areas. Others think it's silly to warn that lives near the sign a blind or a deaf child.
This poster is kidding ( You do not ever think of parking here ). We saw it in the private parking company and we get a little disappointed, we had intended to park there. However, we must recognize that it is nice.
This put it close to our house last week to make it clear that when he says that the speed limit is 30 miles MEAN hours and not more than 30 miles. I think that this sign was designed by the guy who made the previous poster.
The picture says it all, right? Yet it is curious that in this signal to put the whole word crossing. Do they think that the ducks can not read the abbreviations? Anyway, we still doubt whether the signal is valid only for ducks or other birds also. I think not, because if it does not explain that the family of turkeys in the picture below give a detour and cross for our garden last week. By the way, thanked us for letting them use our property and we said they were emigrating from the country by the proximity del día de Thanksgiving.
