Some of them tell you for how many miles you need to watch but others do not, I never knew when I could quit. The same problem with "Watch for Rocks". <br />The biggest mystery for me was what do I do if I see an "Animal" or a "Rock"? Is there someone or someplace that I should report to?<br />I think I have now solved this mystery to my satisfaction however. I got a dog that rides with me as navigator and when I see said signs I tell her that is her responsibility.

They were as big as the exit signs probably $500. they were there for about ten years . but I noticed last time I made a trip east they were gone. My wife Donna's pet peeve it right here in MO on I-70, Mile markers every two tenths of a mile.Is that really necessary, most people who have an accident have no clue where they are anyway. When I was the Chief of a small town we were paying $75 for a small street sign.Imagine the cost for 400 miles of one interstate alone. <br />I ike you assessment of the bump signs too.

I appreciate the signs warning me of the bumps, I have no problem slowing down to a crawl so things in my rig won't bounce around. <br /><br />But there's a bump, a big, tall one, on a highway I took north that either wasn't signed or the sign was waaaay too close to the bump. It was on a good smooth road in the middle of nowhere with almost no traffic that has a 75 mph speed limit, and I was going the limit. It about scared me to death the first time I hit it full speed. I couldn't see it until I was past it, in fact I'm not sure I've ever seen it.<br /><br />Then, coming south - get ready - totally in the middle of nowhere on the same road I completely forgot about it and I hit it again. Whew. I was pissed that time. There didn't seem to be any reason for a bump, but it got me again.<br /><br />I can't remember which road it was - does this ring a bell with anyone? I'd love to write it down - the road number and the mile marker - so I'd remember it's coming the next time.
