The DOT is working on the highway between here and Grand Island–the highway I use for my bi-weekly commute.<\/p>\n
Four times a week, I see the signs set up on either side of the worked-on stretch of highway:<\/p>\n
No
\nPassing Zones
\nNot Marked<\/p>\n
Every time I pass the bright orange signs, I wonder whose bright idea it was to not include punctuation.<\/p>\n
As it is, I have no clue what the sign is trying to say.<\/p>\n
Is it telling me not to pass because the zones are unmarked?<\/p>\n
In that case, it should read:<\/p>\n
No
\nPassing. Zones
\nNot Marked.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps it is just an FYI, to let me know that the no passing zones are not marked so I’ll have to use discretion when passing.<\/p>\n
May I suggest:<\/p>\n
No-Passing
\nZones Not
\nMarked<\/p>\n
Or better yet:<\/p>\n
No-Passing
\nZones Are
\nNot Marked<\/p>\n
As it is, sans punctuation marks, this sign means nothing.<\/p>\n
I do whatever I please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
