“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.

NSFW Traffic Signs
Telling people to not kill kids is not safe for work in USA? …what does people in USA exactly do in work? O_o
If this is nsfw then I wonder what the australian tac ads count as. (Literally showing people getting hit buy cars and flung up into there to there death)
There is probably some legality involved. Signs have more than informative meaning, where not pursuing this officially has broader ramifications.
Just the unauthorized visual distraction factor can be used as a means of argument in court until the matter has precedent in case law established.
Legal counter point, I can put up literally any sign on my property. In most states I can put up nearly any sign on public property without permission. See: any flyer stapled to a phone pole or any political sign on a corner.
The actual case here is the fact they tampered with public property without permission by permanently affixing their sign to the pole. Which is at most a fine.
Not to mention billboards, whose only purpose is to distract drivers and take their eyes off the road.
Police: “You can’t tell people to obey the law! Only we can tell people to obey the law!”
Even if correct, aren’t official looking signs going to confuse and distract drivers?
If you’re confused about whether you should not kill any kids today, driving might not be for you.
