Bizarre Street Sign Stencil (Finally) Explained
I've been seeing this stupid stencil around the 'hood for the last year or so and never quite knew what it was all about. Directions to your friendly neighborhood acid supplier? Guerrilla street marketing for a Ford pick-up with a respectable turning radius? Anything at all?

I ride a bike, so I generally don't look at and follow traffic signs and signals. Hope you understand.
Translation: I'm a bicyclist who blogs about life in San Francisco. I spend most of my time looking at the sidewalk, because it's easier to reflect on other people's observations (and wonder what they mean) than to actually observe things firsthand.
Got it! ;-)
Nailed it.
Bizarre and stupid?
thanks for telling me what to think.
