Popular Post El Presidente Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 Di and I took a different route this morning on our weekend morning walk. We can thank the below sign for saving us from crashing into the boardwalk rail and toppling over to our possible deaths. Speechless 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmessy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 In the US, if someone turned left and fell over the rail, they would sue and win. And then the sign would be mandatory. This is why there is a note on coffee cup lids that state that it is hot. Sent from my SM-N976U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, by not having a Left Turn sign for those coming the other way, they’re asking for a lawsuit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you big brother, I'm not having my rights affected, I'm going Left, and take my chances with the drop, and the multitude of hostile snakes below........at least you know where you are with snakes" 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 my favourite is a sign on a small rail crossing in the Yarra Valley in Victoria. "Give Way to Trains". really? as opposed to the alternative? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't seen the mess left over from generations of prospective wizards throwing themselves into to walls, linedancing into escalators sideways and foxtrotting directly into oncoming trains before platform 9 3/4 was discovered.

"Give Way to Trains". really? as opposed to the alternative? Ken, as you may be aware, Sydney recently got trams back. In the short time they have been around, and despite the near constant bombardment of Govt signage and adverts asking people to not walk in front of trams and give way, there has been near constant incidences of people getting hit by trams or driving in to them. So, do you really trust people if there were no signage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people looking down at their phones and not where they are going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these are near Flinders Street Station/St Kilda Road for Millenials looking down at their mobiles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
