There was a long Listserv discussion thread begun on July 3 (Message #226785) on what's a reasonable speed limit for a city street; it soon morphed into a broader argument over what constitutes dangerous behavior behind the wheel or on foot. There were 29 messages on the thread before it petered out on June 6 -- and I'm not looking to revive it -- but in my travels around the world wide web today, I came across a funny sign that reminded me of one of the more salient points made during the thread: Too many pedestrians around here are checking their cell phones while crossing the street.
I bet this sign would make them look up!
This may or may not be a real road sign. It's all too easy to create a fake, funny image these days. If it's real, and anyone can find out where in the world the photo was taken, please post it here!
I found this photo in a collection of funny signs on Facebook I hope at least some of them are real. They are all real funny! Some, of course, are much funnier than others.

Here are two good ones as a preview:
Warning: Do NOT scroll while driving....or even walking!
