Is This Sign,

sound advice,

 

 

or a waste of money and space? this friendly reminder was erected by the Arlington County Police Department just outside Washington, the sign was purchased costing taxpayers about $13,000, Lieutenant David Green Jr. said,

He defended the sign, which has been displayed for about two months, saying the area is 'one of the highest accident areas in the County, almost 100% of the accidents at this location are rear end collisions,” he added,


the opposing view was held by Local resident, Amanda Anderson, who said that the sign was an example of government waste and said she trusts individuals not to 'purposefully hit the car in front of them, I am dismayed to see my hard-earned tax dollars going towards expensive signs which tell me what to do'


another local resident, Paul-Martin Foss, said 'the sign in and of itself poses a threat to drivers on the road, money is being spent on patronising signs that state the obvious and cause the distracted driving they’re ostensibly intended to prevent', so great sign or waste of space? your choice.
