Although nothing special, Street signs in Japan have a special attraction to me.
The whole japanese address system is very strange and often even the police has difficulties to find a place.
On maps to shops you seldom have the direct address but rather what kind of places, like convenience stores or other shops, are close so you can find it. I sometimes think addresses in Japan have kind of a symoblic value ...
The signs are starting to emerge. They're subtle and discreet but they are there. Look closely next time your out in the midwest. The mosses here are starting to turn vibrant and lively hues of green and the sprouts of Eastern Skunk Cabbage are starting to swell. Sometimes it's the little signs of spring that are most exciting.
I'm adding this to the pre-Worboys signs for now as
1) Public road/
2) Design/
although the font doesn't seem 100% (capital G usual giveaway) I'm not aware of any other signs made like this besides one in Hillingdon Council for horses.
So as it follows the standard pre-Worboys format for information signs I can't think of any reason it isn't, unless it was either made by the council or the developers when they built the new road and housing estate. Any views on this dilemma?
Ghost sign: 'Warings Wilton Factories from London Wall', Shepperton Road, N1.
A familiar street, a different day, I've noticed this sign many times before but today the light seems right.
The Stop here on red sign turns on when the main street is yellow or green. Essentially, this is a crosswalk that can have light use, in front of a fire station entrance. In order to add emphasis, the sign turns on when the main street is to stop.
This was done by running the signs on the red output for load switches 15 and 16 (one for eastbound, one for westbound). There is a logic statement in the controller that states that when phase 2 is yellow, or red, the red for LS 15 turns on. Similar for phase 6 and LS 16. The reds were used to not have to modify the monitor settings. It could have been done with one load switch, using the yellow and green outputs, but that would have required some extra work in the monitor.
I took this photo for the old sign which says:
Notice
Any person found trespassing or depositing rubbish or committing a nuisance within these railings will be prosecuted
Once outside the railings, which are not now extensive, one may, presumably, commit a nuisance with impunity :)
My youngest daughter is moving next year to a new kindergarten. so I made as a present a sign for the kindergarten using mosaic (so the kindergarten teacher can put it outside as well)
the kindergarten name is "another kindergarten" the letters are in Hebrew.

The new one outside has neon stars. This was THE hang-out when my parents were in high school, and is still open, though no longer really a drive-in.
Photographed using the Kodak EasyLoad 35 KE60, and Agfaphoto Vista Plus 200 film. Taken in Mount Dandenong, Victoria, Australia.
Vintage neon, and weird plastic copy of vintage neon in background. People are wondering if the neon signs (there are two) will be taken down.
This sign always makes me smile. In my mind I can see the picture of neatly stacked campfire wood under the bowl and a handle on top :-)
ODT-Street Sign
It's nice to own a garage, it would be even nice to be able to put a car in it. We have a gararge chocca full of items that are worth a fraction of what the car is!
Found in the Pleasant View neighbourhood of North York, this could be Toronto's most diabolical intersection (if you think of Van Horne in terms of the devil from The Witches of Eastwick).

Todd Center (194,876 square feet)
2330 West Mercury Boulevard, Hampton, VA
This shopping center was built in 1972.
This particular road sign was originally the Woolco sign, which would have looked like this.
I enjoy seeing simple neon signs of objects like this which seem like a throwback to the days when one frequently saw shoes, cocktail glasses and other symbols of businesses. I have found many different symbols since starting my Winnipeg & Area Neon Signs at Night, from coffee cups to musical instruments, saws, cigars, light bulbs and so on. Here we obviously have scissors and a comb.
