Oh! I get it. It's offensive to cops. Got it.

As Boulder police commander Darren Fladung told Denver’s 9News, “I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

Then why aren't you already doing those more appropriate things?

Thank goodness, cops are spending valuable resources on thisinstead of, you know, investigating real crime.

We've got ones that show a big sad face if you're going over the limit, and a big smiley face if you're under. Works for me cos I don't want to upset the sign

Why isn't the speed limit 25 mph if children play there?

- Children aren’t playing there. It’s just the guy living down the street has some priors.

Don't kill any kids today

"Aight, I'll come back tomorrow then"

- But then it'll still be today.
  
  Stupid smart sign!

  How is that possible? After a day "today" becomes "yesterday", how is the sign able to resist the flow of time like that?

"Radar ahead!" scribbled on a cardboard.

Vice is a real bitch. Why is it worded like 2nd grade English book..

The urge to slap a "don't tell me what to do" sign below is palpable.
