Gimme a Sign

Transportation workers in Boulder, Colorado, had to go out to take down some "freelance" road signs that had mysteriously appeared in the city, 9News-TV reported.

The signs, which appeared in four different locations, warned drivers to "Get Off Your Damn Phone" and "Don't Kill Any Kids Today," along with other messages.

Boulder Police spokesperson Dionne Waugh said the signs are professionally made and installed, but officials don't know who put them up.

"I'm guessing that it's a concerned citizen that is kind of fed up with the behavior they're seeing in their neighborhoods," said police commander Darren Fladung.

He suggested there are more appropriate ways to get those messages out. [9News, 11/19/2024]
