Good road US road sign
Saw this in Cape Cod and I thought it was good.
Think it would be useful over here?

Re: Good road US road sign
Needs to include a van, a lorry and a bus otherwise some examples of those drivers would assume it didn't apply to them - and yeas I know I many users of all kinds will assume it doesn't apply to them regardless.

The bike needs a glove box to keep the .38 in.
Have we got time for another cuppa?
Re: Good road US road sign
What I think would be a really good sign would be this French sign http://hedgehogcycling.co.uk/cyclist-pa ... signs.html They have these exact signs also in Spain, (without the French words) I saw some newly installed ones there recently.
Though the Poles rather worryingly think just 1m will do, but maybe in Poland that would be an improvement on the present situation, given what I've heard about cycling in Poland.

I would suggest openly carried in a hip holster would be more effective and dude a .38? seriously? Berretta 92F surely.
Re: Good road US road sign
Does this sign seriously suggest that bicycles should use the road and not the pavement? What a good idea. Perhaps we might try that over here.

Seems quite a widespread campaign in the US. This pic is off the US DOT website-

Wouldn't mind one of those T-shirts myself.

It does say that the French sign is from the countryside, where they specify 1.5m, but in towns it's just 1m, so maybe the same as Gdansk in Poland.

Allegedly the above can be found somewhere in Hastings.

I'm surprised some Imperial Vigilante hasn't had it taken down on the grounds that it doesn't precisely constitute one of the kinds of signs where dual imperial/metric measurements are specifically permitted. http://www.ukma.org.uk/road-signage/det ... l-analysis (My guess is that it would not be strictly speaking a width etc limit, which can be shown in dual imperial/metric.)
But less jocularly, that's quite amazing. More, more, please.

I disagree, the .38 and 9mm are almost identical in their ballistics. My choice would be a 1911A1 the .45ACP has much better stopping power!
EDITED TO ADD:
What? Is nobody going to up the ante and suggest a Desert Eagle .50 AE ??

Doesn't matter if you use hollowpoint.
Re the French 1.5-metre sign, they're most often found just behind overhanging foliage.
The one to beware of next year is this:
Some of the compulsory cycle paths are terrible but the police throughout France have been instructed to fine cyclists not taking them. I've seen compulsory paths over lumpy pavement, covered in debris, parked cars, and dustbins, and leading you under tree branches a metre off the ground.
Have we got time for another cuppa?
