Quote HistoryQuoted: Get an old telephone pole, mount it out of reach .

They have tools with them. I'm guessing some late 20s tweaker whose sense of humor never graduated high school. |

booby trap it.
or stop putting up signs. change the name of the street. unstealable boulder or concrete block sounds pretty good if it needs a label. |

Big boulder with road name is best idea, concrete post with rebar, or large metal post filled with concrete. Mount it 10-12 feet high would be my next choices.

A big boulder will probably violate what are called “clear zone” rules. Basically there’s a distance from the edge of roadway (varies with design speed) where you can’t / shouldn’t place objects that would be an undue hazard to wayward vehicles.
“But GimpyPaw, I see boulders and trees right next to the road all the time!” Yes, you do. There can be a lot of reasons for why clear zone standards aren’t being met. Usually it’s because somebody who doesn’t know or care about the standards placed the object there. The city/county/state might not know about it, or haven’t gotten around to addressing it yet. What’s important is that lawyers know about clear zones. If you go dropping a big rock that ends up wiping out a car that slid off the road, you can bet there’s a lawyer who will chase that ambulance. But you do you. Life’s all about risks and rewards. |

Why are opportunities like this wasted on people with no sense of adventure?
Set up sim-card cameras. Maybe even make a website. Steel post. Filled with concrete. Nested inside another steel post with a pivot point on the bottom to reduce friction. Try to cut outer post and inner post spins. Can’t be cut with a saw. Cover the outer post in silver anti-seize or similar. Wire the post to an electric fence transformer. Mount a building-security OC deploying device on the post to spray vandals (would need a trigger method that’s wind-proof) The possibilities are endless, and entertaining. |

Does anybody even use street signs now?
Amazon uses GPS to the extent that even though every mailbox has a huge street number sign attached for 911 they deliver to wrong house. I pointed this out to a driver and he said they only do what GPS says. |
