“Boulder police are investigating the traffic signs as criminal tampering.”

“I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

I’d love if they implemented whatever appropriate ways they have… then again they said appropriate, not effective.

    Ugh that probably kills night vision of drivers.

    It’s so annoying that even with obvious safety changes we can’t get people on board. Like just getting people to not have overly bright lights that blind folks some how is so hard, when that seems so simple.

      The worst about this particular sign is it switches between dark colors and bright colors, which seems to make the blinding light even worse and more distracting. Somehow a company’s right to advertise is more important than safety, even admist a crackdown on distracted driving. Only the phone screen is bad i guess? Cantdo anything about outdoor signs or auto manufacturers putting ipads into the dash.
