Great signage — but in two of the three pictures, the signs are blocking the sidewalks.
Reading these signs make me laugh, and then crash…
they are smart but as distracting as a phone call.
they should use pictures and less text
Emotional road signage was something I noticed while “motoring” in Scotland last year, where drivers are much more polite and skillful than the gas and lane hogs on American highways. Upon entering small countryside towns the signs have speed cameras to reward courteous drivers with a thank you message written in green, or to admonish speeders with a scolding written in red. It felt much more effective, habitually and emotionally, than the anonymous speed camera and ticket approach of Montgomery County, Maryland, where I grew up. I’d rather live in a society of practiced ethics than in a surveillance state.
why does it really concern you if it blocks a portion of the sidewalk…?

Late comment.
“Fun” and potentially “dangerous” signs.
Should be build-in voicemessages in navigationsystems like Garmin Tom Tom etc. with the same content as on the signs
