Christian ecclesiastical districts.  Every denomination, every hierarchical level.

At many state lines, the sign assemblies would be amazing.

This one should exist actually.

Tell me one good reason why drivers should know when they're crossing a legistlative district boundary.

So you could avoid accidentally going into your districts of politicians you dislike.

Why?

I am boycotting certain places for a reason you know.

Sounds like these signs would encourage you to do a bunch of unnecessary U-turns.  Much safer to not sign the boundaries.

Didn't think of that, especially with Gerrymandering and a district like Illinois 15.

[kphoger]

Why do you avoid certain districts, anyway?

Depending on the race, some candidates run unopposed, so it's not live people can even vote for their opponents.

There have been lots of stories about dead people "voting" in Illinois over the years....

Obviously.  But that didn't answer my question.  Are you worried that one of them might accidentally end up in your car?

No, they are just ruining their area to the point where I don't want to go.

Interestingly, Texas's sign book includes dimensioned drawings for signs directing you to legislative members' offices, presumably so you can go down there and cuss them out.

No, no, the star is censoring saxual boundaries. For when you're out of tenor territory and crossing into a region that's more alto. (Death Valley is one of the only bari regions in the US.)

I like the idea of signing all of these.
