Don't Ignore the Signs

When I saw these faceless signs (all within the past week), I thought, “Wow, I better use sunscreen this summer.”  Never underestimate the havoc nature can wreak.

 A stop sign should command authority and deliver a definitive directive to drivers.  This looks like it lost its vigor and is mildly suggesting that you stop…if you don’t mind. Come on highway department, your sign is spineless, a milquetoast - literally.

If a yield sign is supposed to assign right of way, this one is pretty ineffective.  How many people have ignored this vague order and who would blame them? As this sign grows fainter and fainter, so does the urgency of its message.

Although these signs are faded and have lost their voice, they actually speak volumes. Wear your sunscreen.
