Stop signs have been controlling traffic since 1915. While automobile traffic was lighter back then, many city streets were jammed with trains, horses, carriages, and pedestrians. All fighting for the right of way. It was clear that something had to be done and thanks to Detroit, the stop sign was born,
Name: stop sign
What: traffic control device
Located: at street corners and intersections internationally
First erected: Detroit, 1915
A stop sign posted in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Doing this blog over the years, I can honestly say I’ve learned a thing or two and here’s another example. I had no idea that stop signs were eight sided to indicate the level of danger on a highway. I guess we’ve come to take these things for granted and I couldn’t image our streets today without one.
Now, if we can only create an invention for those people who love to run right through these!

He was riding in a wheelchair, with a cat on his lap, blowing a whistle as his three dogs in costume came running behind… it’s the video you have to see!
The guy wasn’t really talking, he certainly wasn’t asking for money, but he was more than happy to let the crowd take all the photos and video they wanted. In the end, he headed north on Broadway and back off into the busy rush hour crowd.
What: random guy with animals
Where: New York City
If this was some kind of panhandler show, he certainly wasn’t asking. Kudos to him though, for training his animals to obey his whistle commands on the busy street! None of my pets would ever have listened that well, in the middle of all those people and traffic.
