Just like the speed limit signs... They are actually moving the sign some place else to see how it "works" there. Guess the only good thing is that it was paid for by7 grants and things like that..

MN DOT traffic engineers are idiots. I seriously think you have to fail an IQ test to get a job there. Guessing this is a city engineer, but they're probably the people that were too dumb even for MnDOT. an example... I-394 has a high occupancy lane east bound towards minneapolis. A sane person would assume as you get closer to the center of the metropolitan area, you would have more lanes as that would be where you would have greater concentration of traffic. Not in Minnesota. here the high occupancy lane just ends about 4 miles from downtown minneapolis, meaning people whizz by everyone else, and then are forced to merge in to a now reduced number of lanes, which creates a huge cluster%*&%. wasn't a one time mistake either... they have similar contrictions all over the place. a 5 year old could engineer traffic flow better than these idiots. living in the minneapolis/st.paul area, i can affirm what any resident of the area will tell you.

Is slowing down the car or safety the endpoint? Sure, you may theoretically slow down someone, but that's because they're distracted trying to make sense of the sign.

You are going to have more people looking at the signs rather than the road. One mistake can cause a death. Just like all the idiots who text, talk, read, etc while driving.
