Indy traffic signs
Posted by BaltACD on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 10:36 PM

In Indy to compete in my club's National Championships at IMS.  Noticed some of the overhead highway signs are promoting 'Rail Safety Week'.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Alas, some motorists are probably wondering what the heck they're talking about...

Said the same thing on every message board out to the Illinois border on I-70...

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
