Road Signs You Need A Doctorate To Interpret
Out riding my bike this morning I came upon this road sign.
I’m a smart guy. I’ve got a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree but this one threw me.

Prescribed Road Burn? Do Not Report.
Enduring Love ipod What the heck is prescribed road burn? I’ve never heard of such a term. Did a doctor prescribe it? And what kind of a doctor prescribes a road burn? MD? DDS? DVM? Dr. Dolittle? Dr. Spock? Dr. Kevorkian? Dr. J? It had to have been some PhD!
So I did some research and found out that Prescribed Burns are allowed and approved fires. They’ve been used to kill bugs which might be attacking trees. (Don’t tell the folks at PETA.) They’ve even been used to create gaps in brush so that large forest fires are averted. Okay this all makes sense. But the sign? Why does everything have to be so complicated. Big words and phrases might impress the person who uses them, but too often confuses the rest of us. And I shouldn’t have to go do research to interpret a road sign.
Why not make it a bit easier. Especially since the average IQ of the people driving today appears to be about 4. A road sign is not a Corporate Memo, a white paper or an Annual Report. Road signs should be helpful not make my head hurt.
These would be some of my ideas…………………..
- This fire paid for by your tax dollars
- This fire started & approved by your local government
- This fire. Proof that your tax dollars are working
- Burning more of your tax dollars
- Chill. We know there’s a fire. We started it.
- Yes, it’s a fire. Yes, we know about it. Move along.
- We’re watching this fire and hoping it doesn’t spread to your house.
Road signs are supposed to be User Friendly!
The next sign I saw was a stop sign and then a yield sign. I felt better. I knew what I was supposed to do.
