In Santa Barbara, there is a "safety corridor" sign as you start up Highway 154 toward Lake Cachuma. It says "safety corridor … no drinking and driving." Does that mean it's sort-of-okay to drink and drive if you're not in a safety corridor? Why not include "don't smoke pot or eat saturated fats while in safety corridor"?
How much does it cost taxpayers to have a "$1000 Fine for Littering" sign posted every five miles? How many people (if any) have actually been prosecuted/fined $1000 for littering? Perhaps if California offered a $10,000 reward for info/video of anyone caught littering there would be enthusiastic public participation and measurable results instead of feel-good warning signs that are themselves litter.
A couple of days ago I caught this drought-related "message" displayed on the Amber Alert sign near Las Positas. Wasn't this sign intended for emergency information about child abductions, drunk drivers, and serial killers?
