Person finds picture of good public signage, posts it to appropriate community, the image is criticized for lack of context perfection. Unreal lol.
Edit: this sign’s placement in the middle of the sidewalk is really dumb but yeah one step forward two steps back and around the sign.
Person makes slop image, is criticized because it’s sloppy.
Tell me why you think it is slop?
That’s either AI or the most stupidly-placed sign in the world
*Edit: I agree with the sentiment, it’s just in the middle of the bike lane/sidewalk
*Second Edit: as others users pointed out, sign does exist, it’s just a weird photo. There’s also a bike lane on the other side of the road, separated from the road by a fence and everything.
I retract my statement, it’s been a journey.
Frankly, the stupid sign placement doesn’t surprise me at all. I would almost be more inclined to think it was AI if it weren’t in the way of non-car street users!
Anyway, this community doesn’t (currently) have an explicit rule against AI. I might still remove AI slop anyway because people don’t like it on the grounds that the distraction it causes violates rule 4 or something like that, but it’s got to be more obvious than this. (I have also already seen and considered VonReposti’s argument about the blue sign and the dent, BTW.)
Didn’t take me long to find the sign at all

Why’s it stupid? This is the UK. That’s not in the bike lane, it’s on the pavement. These signs are all over the UK, especially London, and they’re used to inform road users about all sorts of things. It’s as close as it can be to the road without sticking into it and people can just want around it. You’re not gonna bang your head on it.
Someone should introduce this technology to the UK.
Did they place that sign in the middle of a bicycle lane?
The bike lane is on the street. The sign is in the middle of the sidewalk, which is also dumb.
Is the sign even real? How do we know this is a real picture?
Hey it’s cheaper to place inconviently in the middle of a bike/walk path rather than a overhead board.
Welp, guess I’m not going to work tomorrow because there’s no busses nor metro (even within the city there’s shit for busses and no metro, and I have to travel two towns into the country where busses are mostly conceptual). Does “hopping a freight and hopefully not getting caught by the bulls in the yard and then hoping they slow down enough in the town I need to jump off in” count as “public transport?”
Know what? I think I’ll just drive.
In the harbor here, employers ran into that issue. They couldn’t find anyone to work there anymore. Turns out you make more money working in a supermarket and bike than drive to the harbor and pay for the car and gas despite the harbor job making significant more.
Buy a bicycle
For 27km down a busy highway before 7am, with a backpack full of tools, manual labor for 8h, and 27km back down that busy highway to get home?
Do you bike 54km to your manual labor job every day?
Do you bike 54km to your manual labor job every day?
62km actually.
