Is this a sign that the end is nigh?
Does it warn of an impending Zombie Apocalypse?

No, but it is about as cool as it can possibly be, don't you think?! These are the new traffic signs that were being installed in New York city last spring. (You just gotta admire a city with a twisted sense of humor like this!) Apparently you see a regular 'living' pedestrian as long as you keep your car below 30 mph. But accelerate above that threshold, and you will receive the 'Traffic Sign of Death & Doom'! This is just a gentle yet grim little reminder that speeding can ultimately lead to the demise of yourself or others! Mayor Bloomberg feels that these new 'graphic graphics' will help 'drive' the message home...(no pun intended............well okay, maybe it was.)
Not fair...why does New York always get all the cool stuff? So do you think this will work to keep those surly New Yorkers in check? Will they suddenly begin to care about mowing down pedestrians in the street, when there is no evidence that they ever have before? (No disrespect here towards NY...I love the place, but the drivers can be ruthless.) I guess only time will tell. As for me....I have to just come clean here and say, right or wrong, that this would only serve as utter temptation for me, because I would SO go over the speed limit every time, just to see the little skeleton!
And you know that most of you would too!

Your absolutely right I'd be speeding up just to see these guys!
Somebody clearly has a sense of humor. It would be a hoot if the sign actually said, "OH Shit, A Skeleton!
Tag You Are It!

Ominous.
These are fantastic!!!! I can always count on you for this kind of information!!
That is super cool. I agree with you, I would be slighted tempted to go just a bit too fast, just too see that....but I bore easily so I am sure I would be over it in time for it to be effective.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
Ain't no doubt about it...I'd be speeding up to see the skelly! I'd be curious to see the statistics on this in the next few months. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out this actually causes the number of accidents to increase!
Awesome! I would speed too. Wrong thing to do for us Halloween addicts. Go Skeletons!!!
Those are funny! And you want ruthless driving, c'mon over here. Brit drivers resent even having to slow down, let alone stopping.
Hye Wendy, I know you might be hibernating, but I gave you an award: http://vraiefiction.blogspot.com/2012/02/versatile-blog-award.html
Come and pick it up when you are ready.
That is a great idea. I love it !!!! Very humorous too ; )
Hello Wendie, I automatically followed you as soon as I read your introductory header! Then I read this post!!!! OMG!!!!! I am not insulted as I know what a niceperson I am but I am a native New Yorker! Come visit me some time. I am never surly (well, only when really pressed) ;-) xo
