Warning Signs for Tomorrow
On: October 22, 2006
an inventory of future warning signs is funny: should the masters make stickers and distribute accordingly? Of course, the warning signs we have now are not so bad, either.

Sell stickers, good idea! I see that 3 course dinner coming closer and closer.
I came across an interesting “warning sign” this weekend in Hamburg.
that’s so funny. what if we took the macgyver stencil and put it on one of the yellow danger signs?
Just found this (in Dutch) about special signs to warn truckdrivers to not use their carnav system: “Met aangepaste borden langs de weg wil de gemeente Zwolle de aandacht trekken van voornamelijk vrachtwagenchauffeurs die bij een wegomleiding in de stad massaal een woonwijk inrijden. Navigatiesystemen in de voertuigen sturen de chauffeurs de verkeerde kant op, met verkeerschaos tot gevolg.” (telegraaf.nl)
What wil it show?
“Warning: Your navigation system is a liar”
Suggestions?
i bet tomtom will say the solution is more information – say, population density and (as was discussed in class) cell phone tracking to see how busy the roads are. it makes you wonder, how did the world ever survive without these gadgets?
oh and ‘Danger: Area not under surveillance’ (This one we should distribute while we still can)
