😒 "Boulder Police Department is investigating 14 illegally placed signs with explicit traffic safety messages like “DON’T KILL ANY KIDS TODAY” and “SLOW THE F— DOWN.”

Imagine road authorities doing actual work, putting with the same urgency they show in response to DIY efforts.

Lightly skimming Boulder's 2023 " Action Plan", I'm somewhat surprised that they would adopt something so toothless in 2023. This was like cities in 2015 would adopt a plan that said they really want to quit killing people with cars, and plan to achieve it with five things that won't work and seven they won't actually do, besides zero change to the terrible streetscapes regularly design.

@enobacon I've thought of putting similar signs along routes like Terwilliger. "If you drive in the bike lane, you're a terrible driver and a bad person," and so forth.
