you were warned
I don’t know. I don’t know that trains really need a sign about the handrail situation on a bridge. You know, since they don’t have hands.
That sign is facing a highway, but I didn’t have the sense that there were a lot of (or any) pedestrians walking the tracks. And anyway, who’s ever even SEEN handrails on a train bridge? Wouldn’t it be more sign-worthy to announce the rare times where there WERE railings?
Anyway, as I said: I don’t know.

All the directions
So. Much. Signage.
And also, check out that brown haze down toward the horizon – that’s a minor dust storm, which I point out only to those of you who are unfortunate enough to have to live somewhere that dust storms don’t occur. You are really missing out.

Bethel, coming and going
Here’s a two-way sign for a little country church on top of a hill.
Also: it did require a u-turn to get back to it. And also: it took me about five miles of driving to decide that I didn’t want to pass up a chance to photograph the church (and sign). Sometimes I make a u-turn decision right away, and other times it takes a few minutes to decide. And also, one more time: I can’t recall a time that I’ve ever made a u-turn, gotten back to the place, and decided that it wasn’t worth a photograph after all.

Suspension of Disbelief
That sign – there was just something about the way the two vacant rectangles seemed to shore up the cross that I found compelling, visually and philosophically.

Just checking in
Every few years I remember to drive out by my favorite sign of all time. One of these days I will have waited too long to get one more photo, though, and that will be a sad discovery.
