The Ineffectivness of Signage

"A six-year-old boy has died after a collision between a school bus and a loaded coal train at a level crossing"

"Queensland Premier Anna Bligh told State Parliament today there was thick fog in the area at the time of the accident and visibility had been reduced to just 50 metres."

"There were no boom gates at the crossing but there was a rail crossing sign and a give-way sign."

"We will be leaving no stone unturned in investigating what has happened," Mr Hopper said."

Well he can stop turning rocks over and ruining the homes of little critters as the main contributing factor was the TOTAL RELIANCE ON SIGNAGE. Signs are effective in being SEEN to be doing something, but do not work.

The provision and maintenance (by volunteers) of sustainable single track works. The provision of signs that say "No Bikes" is good for looking like you are doing something. That photo with the bike tracks on that trail with the fall issue (catching water = puddle) in front of the "No Bikes" sign illustrates this clearly.
