Those signs have been in use for many years in California. Unfortunately they are no joke. They were erected because of the number of people (including children) killed trying to cross the freeway.

Makes you wonder why Barbara Boxer hasn't had those over-head cross walks built for them. Geez!

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~Mark Twain
I stopped a van for a burned out head light one night and people started flying out of it like the Marines hitting the beach on Iwo Jima. When I got things under control there were still 15 people in the van, including a 6 month old baby and a 4 year old little girl. The dirt bags who smuggle these people don't give a hoot about them and will run as fast as the motor will go, sometimes the wrong way on the freeway. We need to get a handle on this, I can't tell the good from the bad when I get a mess like that.
