Scarily enough, some of these signs are actually needed. (I'll bet you feel really safe now, hm?)

Thursday Threesome: ::No Bicycles on the Freeway::
- Onesome: No Bicycles — on the Freeway? Ya' think? Do you have a better 'sign of the times' for the gang? I'm thinking along the lines of "Coffee is Hot", if you catch my drift...
A few of those types of signs could be circumvented by having better technical writers. Plenty, though, are preventative measures...not against stupid human tricks, but against lawsuits. They're like wolfbane, but for settlements. - Twosome: on the — flip side, how about a sign you think needs to be in place? ...maybe something like one that lights up and says, "Get out" after you pull the fire alarm in a building?
Every time I hear about these kind of signs or lawsuits (like the lawsuit that caused McDonald's to start printing “This coffee is hot” on their coffee cups) I see someone exhibit the boneheaded behavior that makes some of these signs necessary. (Notice that I said “some”. There's no denying that many of these bits of signage are nothing but CYA insurance.) - Threesome: Freeway — friend or foe? Utility or necessary evil? Extra points if you have to use the Pennsylvania Turnpike or happen to live in Los Angeles!
I think freeways are necessary. People don't have to get permission to move into a city or urban area, so city planning isn't a clean or easy thing. When a population grows, it grows...and when a metro area has a certain draw job- and housing-wise, there's little that will stop the growth. It's aggravating that they're so prevalent...but I'm not too sure what can be done to stop it.
