So what is the cost of a faded sign like this? Believe it or not, this is a sign that is currently up. People naturally stop. I haven’t seen anyone run this stop sign. Just on face value, though, it just looks bad. Who doesn’t see this and think someone has dropped the ball? Just so you know, in the interest of full disclosure, this sign is located coming out of a large retail store but appears to be on a government right-of-way. (Continued below picture)

So who is responsible for the replacement of this sign? It seems to me that the retailer would replace it to keep their location ecstatically pleasing but that is not what the issue is in my mind. What if someone runs this and is gravely injured or just moderately injured? Would any normal person feel bad? Of course they would.

The other thing I find glaring is this. If there is an accident, and it probably is just an issue of when there is an accident, who is going to be sued. The retailer? The local government? Probably both. And all for what? Because someone did not want to pay to replace a $55 (MSRP). This would not cost even one hour of defense attorney’s fees.

Bottom line and most importantly, is that it should have been figured out a long time ago of who would replace this sign before someone is in a serious accident.

If anyone ever needs to purchase a stop sign, we keep them in stock. The sign is just too important not to keep on hand.

By the way. I sure hope Beau has made it home.
