It all started with a sign in Greenwich:
 |
| The humped we could get -- speed bump. But what is a "Pelican Crossing"? Google helped with the answer. Originally, it was "Pedecon" crossing -- for "pedestrian controlled" crossing -- a crossing where the stoplight is triggered when a pedestrian presses a button to indicate they want to cross the street. "Pedican" quickly evolved into the more whimsical "Pelican". |
 |
| "Weak bridge" so much more evocative than out "Weight limit". |
 |
| So much more useful information than just "Dead End" or "No Outlet". |
 |
| Self-explanatory. Keep your feet where they belong! |
 |
| Every church has its own rules! (Well-behaved dogs are almost certainly okay.) |
