It's safe to go back on the sidewalk.

With the temperature soaring, the kids off school, and sunsets late in the evening, late July and early August are the perfect time to walk to your favorite, neighborhood ice cream hut for dessert. Rita's, Dairy Queen, TCBY, that creepy guy in the Good Humor truck, take your pick. Just go for a stroll and reward yourself with a cool, creamy, treat.

But if you do, you may encounter one of these guys:


I know there are at least six between my domicile and the nearest Rita's. But what does it mean? Have no fear, Stupid Warning Signs is here to explain this baffling cartoon to you.

It does bear a strong resemblance to this...

...a very recognizable crosswalk warning sign. (Note the CROSSWALK.) To the uninitiated, means "this is not a crosswalk." BUT shouldn't that actually look like this?


So what could it possibly mean? Well, fellow web surfer, I think it bears a far closer resemblance to another image.














Thank your city council, because if you see these signs up in your neighborhood, you know that Sasquatch is not welcome. And you can enjoy that ice cream cone in peace. It's safe to go back on the sidewalk.
