It would make a pretty awesome basis for an advocacy group -- perhaps it could be called "Writing Road Inverted Against Citizens."<br /><br />David, I think the problem with the iconography is that they tried to put a rider on the bicycle at all...most icons that serve similar purposes are much simpler. This one just look goofy.Teaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459066358653082806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347688.post-23134423232275881152010-07-21T15:19:19.253-04:002010-07-21T15:19:19.253-04:00I also agree.

It's these types of observations that usually hang around in my head during the rest of my bike ride, dramatically increasing my chances of being hit by a car or mowing down a pedestrian. <br /><br />Have you also noticed how silly the iconography for the bicyclist looks? I'm pleased that the guys wear helmets, but they're kind of blocky looking. I imagine if those were from '64, they'd actually look better.David Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532568747482792996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347688.post-47936257703009381202010-07-21T10:31:30.027-04:002010-07-21T10:31:30.027-04:00I whole heartedly agree.

The first place I encountered this was in Santa Cruz, CA (South Bend doesn't have words painted on the street), where the "Ahead Stop" syntax mystified me for days when I was 12 or so until I figured out whawt was going on.
