Classic Rock   10 #1 Posted January 30, 2004 Just before Christmas the pavement was dug up outside my pub and what looks like an electronic sign was installed. It looks like one of those signs that has a sensor to tell off motorists about something (speeding, using the bus lane....), the only thing is that it has never done anything since it was put there. Motorists still speed and people still use the bus lanes so what was the point of putting the useless monstrosity there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

duffman   10 #3 Posted January 30, 2004 I think it's one of the new car park signs that tell you if they're full or not, but it's not working:rolleyes:  Good old council;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

garrence   10 #5 Posted January 30, 2004 It could be an informational sign for occasional use. Eg "huge crater spontaneously appeared so don't turn left" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
garrence   10 #6 Posted January 30, 2004 Why don't you open the back of it, poke a few of your own wires inside and use it to advertise this week's exciting promotions in your pub? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Classic Rock   10 #8 Posted January 30, 2004 Some remarkably good ideas here, your talents are wasted!  It looks like it's going to be one of those signs that shouts 'STOP' or 'SLOW DOWN', lots of LEDs in it. There's a box next to it at the side of the pavement for controls. But it just stands there. Doing nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
