Signs and Lies

I remember the first time I saw the sign on Baseline Rd and Aspen Ridge Dr in Lafayette that said "No access to Super Wal-Mart". I was compelled to drive down the road and see what sort of cul-de-sac was created to stop this back way from being used. Turns out there IS access to Wal-Mart.

For reasons having to do with traffic congestion, this little white lie by the city is meant to help direct traffic to the main entrance to WalMart on Hwy 287. I can't recall seeing a city sign before that was so blatantly wrong, and wrong intentionally.

This is a bad precedent. The City instead should put up a sign saying "Want traffic lights here? Vote yes on 2A." Trying to be cute with false statements just annoys intelligent citizens.
