I think it's the serif font, more than the lack of capitalization, that weirds me out.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago

Imagine if it was a handwriting font? “Live, Laugh, Stop”

I think this is a Chik-Fil-A parking lot stop sign—the branding is spot on.

EDIT: Actually, I think I recognize the surroundings, too. This is the Chick-Fil-A off Hobbs Rd in Huntsville, Alabama: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fod76mqmB7sNhEqE7

You did good, PipedLinkBot just did better.

Why did PipedLinkBot think Google Maps was a YouTube video?

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 10 points 1 year ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Sovereign Citizens will have a field day with this.

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago

SovCits have field days with pretty much any rule they don’t like. They’re prime examples of why we need to be removing warning labels on everything; they’re an end result of far too little chlorine in the gene pool.

it somehow feels condescending.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Very passive request. Depends how I'm feeling that day

"Excuse me sir/madame I would like to request that you please stop here by the solid line before progressing on. If it's not too much bother that is. Thank you for your precious time"

I read something about this recently but I can’t remember where or find the article at the moment.

These are sometimes installed at high-risk intersections. At these locations, it is thought that people become accustomed to seeing ordinary stop signs, fail to notice them, and fail to stop.

The idea is that drivers unconsciously notice something is different and so these signs gain attention, hopefully restoring the original purpose of the sign.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

This upsets me.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Those ones are optional

Aren't signs like these out up by a private entity, like an HOA? I think the law is that a public and legally enforceable sign is all caps and these are legally distinct enough that they can't be confused for public signs (hence the lack of capitalization) but still communicate the intent.

These signs are also unenforceable so you're free to disrespect them if that's how you feel.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Iirc they're still treated as stop signs by insurance companies in the event of an accident

I think this sometimes happens on private property. Not sure though.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
