What’s in a sign ….. they may tell us more about our city than we think!

One of the interesting things to do when driving around town is to read the signs that “decorate” the road and pedestrian pathways of our hometowns.  Sometimes they are safety and lawful advisement and at other times they take on almost the aura of urban (or suburban) art.

Here’s one of the signs I noticed on the sidewalk of one of our principle streets.   When I saw it, I remembered Real Estate in Lodihearing a passionate plea years past about making recreational activities “unlawful.”  I think however, that Lodi California reached a compromise. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lodi Ca LivingOn the city sidewalks, malls and other areas where pedestrians could be harmed by an accidentally out-of-control sidewalk surfer - prohibition seems appropriate.

The City provides an alternative … and here is one of many “skate parks” found throughout the city.  The only thing I see missing … the “NO WALKING” signs, to protect the rights of the skaters!

Great sign, Jack! I'm getting ready to post my own story about local signs. I love the skate park. It's beautiful! Unfortunately, the only skate park we had in town has been closed. I need to find out why. My son and friends love skateboarding and there's no place to do it. I see lots of older kids skating down the middle of the streets...and accident waiting to happen. Nice that Lodi has not overlooked this!

Nina ... I have done a couple of blogs about signs ... the're just fun ... and when you start looking for them, it's amazing what you find!  The skate parks ... if we want to keep kids from being bad actors, we need to make sure the stage they appear on is one designed for them ...  (wow, now that's over the top ...)

Jack, that is a great sign!  I wonder why they don't have a NO Walking Sign for the skate parks!

Tony - I'm sure they just never thought about it ... but I am so glad they considered alternative to our youth's needs.

Love the sign... I don't think we have any  signs that clever or whimiscal, anywhere in my area.  Official signs here are very standard.  I will try to see if I can find any interesting ones though...
