However, around the Chicago area (I'm a Park Ridge native myself), we're famous for our "rolling stops." Almost no one performs anything close to resembling a full and complete stop, which is even more of a problem around school zones (this sign is posted along a route a lot of children use to walk to school).

Clearly everybody knows that the stop sign means. What would be more effective would be a cop hanging out around the corner every once in a while to give tickets to people who choose to ignore the law.

I'm not sure which category of sign it goes into (emotionally intelligent, perhaps not). It made me laugh. When did we reach a point that we need a sign to tell us that opening a window on a railway line will mean that it will get noisier in our hotel room? This was at a hotel in Melbourne (Australia) recently. check out the picture here: http://www.cindytonkin.com/images/railway_noise_sign.jpg happy to email it to you if you want it. cindy p.s. love your stuff!! Dan,

A good idea that almost made it to greatness. “Stop Means Stop” above the bike route sign – now that would be an attention-grabber. A good idea that almost made it to greatness.
