Think I'll hack up one of these signs, one day, to say, "drug testing to all vehicles passing through, 1km."

Then call up the cops to keep an eye on people taking the detour routes.

@Kyle Mistry: I'd avoid it. My car's taking been taking Lucas, which is a performance enhancing liquid. I don't want an Asterisk next to it's VIN.

Right down the street from my house! If any community needed some levity, it's uptight Carmel.

@GizMadone: And what was your answer Mr. Connery.

Below. I don't see how that pertains, but OK. And your wager?

Me. Below Me. I don't get it.

Try to imagine yourself in the Carmel, Indiana. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a crosswalk. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. He presses the button to get the light to change so he can cross the street. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes.

Not from Keystone Avenue, but from the side street, 116th Street, from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here... or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.

@RaptorsAhead_GitEmSteveDave: The second Jurassic Park movie allegedly takes place in San Diego, but that T-Rex was trashing downtown Burbank. I watched 'em film that.

Do some freeze frame during that sequence and you'll see a movie poster for King Lear starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

@gizmodohomepage: It's funny until somebody gets killed. These are caution signs for a reason. What if there was a huge patch of black ice and people just kept zoomin?

@Earthslide: I have NEVER in all my years of driving in the north east EVER seen one of these damn signs ever post relevant information like that. Real signs like the ones mounted to overpasses and the like yes. But not these mobile put up by worker ones, especially since by law they need to have picture road signs ALSO displayed for people.

Not to mention they are so often poorly maintained that they with dont work (i have seen a arrow pointing no where because the direction portion was burned out) or give false information (people working? on sunday?, IN A SNOWSTORM?)

@im.thatoneguy: what construction crews? lol

I have driven up and down the GSP to see a truck put up construction cones (screwing up traffic) then take them down 2 hours later with absolutely NO construction go on each time I drove pass it during those two hours that day.

It was as if they where practicing for construction.

@Jim Topoleski: Was one of the trucks the one with the big box mounted to the back on a hinge? That scans the roadway. It has to move at a set pace.
