| − | Reminds me of something I saw in San Diego on a pedestrian/bike path: PED TO YIELD. At first I thought it meant that pedestrians are to yield to bicyclists. But then I remembered my highway grammar.

| − | ::: It's because pedestrians are the slowest and squishiest of all traffic, and while (most of us) are also the most nimble, "won't anyone think of the children!" applies here. So yeah, pedestrians always have the right of way. In a perfect world, cyclists would be next, but this isn't a perfect world. Anonymous 07:10, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

| − | To save you the bother, I googled guberif and found it is firebug spelt backwards, which I should have realised for myself, and comes from a 70+ year old marketing campaign. So now you know. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.70|108.162.245.70]] 22:55, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

| − | How can someone say there is not many periods on the highway, has anyone done a study of how many woman are not menstruating while in a vehicle compared to those that are? I would think that at any one time there is a significant amount of periods on any given roadway. {{unsigned ip|108.162.216.166}}
