Confusion on the W&OD trail

[brendan]

My favorite is the two sets of four trail safety/etiquette signs on the W&OD heading east somewhere out in the reston to leesburg corridor. Three of them are good recommendations. One just bothers me from a not-always-possible perspective even though I think I understand what they meant. If I recall correctly, it states:

“Slow down to pass”.

That’s not always going to work.

Over on the fairfax co pkwy trail just south of the toll road where it detours temporarily onto the road there are yield signs facing both ways on the trail. I I don’t know what confusion of ideas led to that signage.

Clearly the end road work sign is facing the wrong way. That is the correct location for traffic coming towards the camera. I would guess that some wiseass thought it would be funny to turn it around.
