Sign might be more useful on a road that is experiencing heavy traffic.
Welp, guess I'm not going to work tomorrow because there's no busses nor metro (even within the city there's shit for busses and no metro, and I have to travel two towns into the country where busses are mostly conceptual). Does "hopping a freight and hopefully not getting caught by the bulls in the yard and then hoping they slow down enough in the town I need to jump off in" count as "public transport?"
Know what? I think I'll just drive.

When I was in NYC, the streets were basically empty and the sidewalks were crowded as fuck. It was hard as hell to find a cab. I was expecting to just be able to wave my hand and have one appear.
I mostly walked down the middle of the street because there were just so many people on the sidewalks.
