ParticipantSo these signs may be happening in conjunction with the Parks Department! There is some enthusiasm on their side for fun and creative signage that can be moved around and doesn’t get lost in the background of the trail.
We may be using some of the ideas on here, but if you any other suggestions, get them in!

ParticipantI like how this message encourages people to be reflective without admonishing those aren’t. I always wear reflectors while riding, especially because I ride mostly in streets, but there’s a slippery slope toward victim-blaming that we don’t want to travel down. There is not and should not be a requirement for pedestrians to wear reflectors.

ParticipantI’ve been riding the road into the for the last few weeks and staying off the trails. This morning I rode Custis and W&OD both in and out of the city so that I could bask in the awesomeness that is these signs. Soooooooooooo impossibly awesome.
Thank you!!!
Love,

ParticipantJust heard that these signs on the Custis near George Mason are out of order. If someone is going past there tonight–can you stop fix them?

Depends on if the new order is better than the original or not.

ParticipantI rode past these last weekend. I like them. It would like to see them spaced a bit farther apart. Part of the appeal of the Burma Shave signs is the anticipation of what the next sign will say.
