Really? Signs for Morons

[El Presidente]

Di and I took a different route this morning on our weekend morning walk. 

We can thank the below sign for saving us from crashing into the boardwalk rail and toppling over to our possible deaths.

...with arrows on the ground, just in case you miss the sign.

The "new normal". Get used to it.

You guys even walk on the left?

(morons is a bit harsh, don't you think?)

[JohnS]

So, that sign is there just in case people insist on turning left? ?

[westg]

Glad you made it home safely . ??. Rob it is probably there for cycling people

[mrmessy]

In the US, if someone turned left and fell over the rail, they would sue and win. And then the sign would be mandatory. This is why there is a note on coffee cup lids that state that it is hot.

Well, by not having a Left Turn sign for those coming the other way, they’re asking for a lawsuit.

Perhaps a sign for crazy bicyclists ?

You laugh, but you could imagine how this sign would be received in some countries today. 

Sign: (Turn Right)

"Yeah.........TURN RIGHT........that's just what they want you to believe!!!!  , straight to the alien abduction rooms......What?  I don't care if it's got "TOILETS" written the building! do I look like I was born yesterday?.  Nope!! No thank you big brother, I'm not having my rights affected, I'm going Left, and take my chances with the drop, and the multitude of hostile snakes below........at least you know where you are with snakes"

my favourite is a sign on a small rail crossing in the Yarra Valley in Victoria. 

"Give Way to Trains". 

really? as opposed to the alternative?

  You didn't seen the mess left over from generations of prospective wizards throwing themselves into to walls, linedancing into escalators sideways and foxtrotting directly into oncoming trains before platform 9 3/4 was discovered.

I'm sure there was a reason to put up those signs

There is; it’s because common sense isn’t very common

Ken, as you may be aware, Sydney recently got trams back. In the short time they have been around, and despite the near constant bombardment of Govt signage and adverts asking people to not walk in front of trams and give way, there has been near constant incidences of people getting hit by trams or driving in to them.

So, do you really trust people if there were no signage?

fuzz, no disrespect, but we are talking people from sydney. it is a wonder the streets are not covered in signs reminding them to breathe.

That's just silly, Ken. They would get in the way of all the bicycle signage we have in the CBD!

you need that signage because otherwise how would couriers know to go flat strap through crowded footpaths at peak hour. otherwise they might ride like sane humans.

I took this one the other day making note of government efficiency. Any guess on the clearance of the overpass?

[alloy]

Well, if some millennial were on their phone while walking that path, oooooopppsssss! But I digress, they wouldn't be looking anyway. Seen it happen a lot.

I think in this case, it's less a matter of government efficiency and more a case of driver deficiency

The railings beg to be removed

That is why Sydney City Council had to install Walk/Don't Walk lights in the ground at crosswalks. Too many people looking down at their phones and not where they are going.

These signs? I know these are near Flinders Street Station/St Kilda Road for Millenials looking down at their mobiles.
