PAD06 - Verbose

Remember when signs contained simple instructions? We see a sign that says "Stop" and we know immediately what it means and why we need to comply. Even a simple "Keep off the grass" sign conveys meaning and instruction in one simple phrase. Apparently, the residents of Smithfield, Rhode Island need more than instruction. They not only need to know what to do (or what not to do), they also need to know why. After seeing this "pooper scooper" law sign at a park in Smithfield, I certainly hope nobody lets the Smithfield town council redesign our road signs. I'd need to take a speed reading course just to read the "Men at Work" signs at every construction site.
