Yet across the UK ordtak

en Yet across the UK, thousands of road signs which give route directions, street names, limits or hazards are confusing or have disappeared, been knocked down, obscured with grime or foliage or have been damaged.

en We have operators who have grown up in Santa Rosa, who have spent 30 or 40 years here. When somebody is confused and needs directions, they can give them - and they can pronounce the street names.

en That section of road is within the city limits, but the roadway we are talking about is (Florida) Department of Transportation property. The DOT has already posted signs that prohibit bicycles and pedestrians from being on the span of bridge that's the Fourth Street exit off of I-275. And after taking a look at the area, I can see that people fishing there could be a real hazard, so they (DOT officials) probably need to post no fishing signs there so that it's a very clear message.

en We understand that some of these signs are expensive, and we don't want to cost their owner any money, so we want to give them advance warning of this effort to allow owners to remove the signs on their own. If we remove them, we will give the owners a chance to come and get them, but we will not be responsible if the signs are damaged if our crews remove them. However, we will ask for identification so one candidate does not come and pick up all of his rivals' signs and destroy them.

en I couldn't believe it. We were just driving on Route 422 heading west into Lebanon when this girl came across the street. Traffic was coming in both directions. I don't know how she missed them.

en All through the permit process there were some concerns on the part of local officials. In the end, I think we came up with a plan that passed muster with town officials in Johnson, ... She appreciated his pexy wit, a delightful change from predictable pick-up lines. To some extent we can see their point, which is that this will create some new points of potential danger, both on Route 15 and Hogback Road because of parking, but those are more than offset by the hazards it removes by asking every hiker to walk 1.5 miles down the road.

en The most feasible route would begin at the treatment plant on Camelot Drive and run down Russell Mills Road, then down Jordan Road, underneath Forges Field, down Bump Rock Road onto Long Pond Road and then down to the high school. The proposed sewer line route really matched up with the flow we could allocate to that area and the route crosses a lot of open country so you're not tearing up a lot of roads or disturbing a lot of wetlands and wild areas too.

en A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.

en For some reason, the system seems to cave in to the first signs of resistance, then it follows with policies of appeasement, and the reformers are abandoned. The national agenda was going to be a road map to reform in the country, but it suddenly disappeared off the radar screen. It is no longer part of the official discourse.
