Maybe it's implying that the sidewalk is a closed finite set of concrete slabs.  :hmmm:

...or they LITERALLY roll-up the sidewalks between certain hours.  At this particular time, that sidewalk was closed.

Exit 95B on OH 104 NB is for US 33 WB so it really should not be mentioned on this sign.

FWIW, I was told it was as a child, but it was definitely on the lower end of curse words.

In my youth, there were four major cuss words/swear words/profanities/obscenities: h3ll, d@mn, sh1t, and f*ck.

Others included b1tch (as in "son of a b1tch"), b@st@rd, and f@rt.

I'm amazed at the degradation of society to the point where only one of those words is not freely used on network television.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Don't you consider "c0v1d" and v@cc1n3" swear words to the point where you censor them, too?

You gotta go back to 1929, but that's when the first curse word was uttered in a movie. It was 'Damn', and it was shocking. 

I'm not sure if Damn can be uttered in a G rated movie today, or if that automatically bumps up a movie to a PG rating.

The first three "curse words" I learned as a kid were "damn, fuck, and shit" (in that order) and I remember all too well the day my mother heard me say them when I was outside playing with the other kids (she had the window open). The soap did not taste good.

Down South, the combination of "damn" with "God" is considered a very serious profanity, to the point where people say "GD" when referring to that word. (It amuses me at Washington Capitals games to see an ad for something called "GDIT" on the boards because I've spent enough time in the South to read that as a mild profanity: "GD it!")

For one, if the structure fails, the area will be flooded with the alphabet's fourteenth letter.

That was done to get around the limitations of social media (particularly Facebook) that resulted in annoying tags and "fact checks" being applied to posts.

Except that the Shop Rd Gate is actually a right at the signal.  (on SR 630 SB)

The misplaced TO banners make it look like the road ahead isn't US 90 West and that US 98 East is actually to the left at US 31's southern terminus.

This reminds me of when a few years ago I was listening to some syndicated music show on a rural FM station. They played "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles and dumped the profanity from "we've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing". I thought it was pretty funny.

Cox Media Group seems to dub out the word BS on Pink Floyd's Money on their radio stations that feature Classic Rock. Sounds weird with a word missing when played.

I-95 South on I-80 East is NOT the last exit in New Jersey.

One final exit remains in Fort Lee connecting to NJ 67 before the GWB.

That's why it's only marked for the express lanes.

Express lanes especially as you can still access NJ 67 before the bridge without being forced on to it from those lanes.
