Unless you have an atomic-powered car.

I always wondered how effective these signs would be (Evanston, Illinois is a "nuclear-free community") in a nuclear war.  As if the ICBMs would look at them and dodge their municipality.

So if you're driving four-dimensional vehicle, make sure you go back to 1985 or earlier before passing through Berkeley.

The municipalities of Takoma Park and Garrett Park, in Montgomery County, Maryland are both "nuclear-free" zones.  But Maryland's electricity market is deregulated, and all utility customers can choose their electric suppliers, including those that have nuclear generating stations.  I don't the the municipalities have the power to tell  people to purchase nuclear-free electrons.

As if they could.  Like oil, once created, these electrons are fungible.

Blah. Creative but misleading arrow.

How wide is that sign? Looks to me like at least 16 feet. And it's on just one post!

Looks about as wide as the lane'.  Oregon likes to use one post a lot.
