In the US, road signs are mounted slightly *counterclockwise* (when viewed from above). Without looking it up, does anyone want to guess why this might be? -tom On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 7:31 AM, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
I threw an Aerobie down the street, trying to reach a certain road sign. Standing at the Aerobie, I was disappointed to see the face of the sign, across the street. But wait a minute, it's crooked! Eyeballing a perpendicular to the street, I'm a couple feet past the sign, dammit.
Whoa, maybe roadsigns are twisted slightly clockwise on purpose? To exactly face traffic from where they first become visible? --rwg _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
