Concerns On The New "Curve Ahead" Road Signs That Were Made Using Bucatini Noodles

OFFICIAL COMPLAINT LETTER FROM TOWN RESIDENT:

To whom it may concern,

I hate to be a pain, but I was driving down Route 141 last night when I noticed new safety signs were implemented. I know the budget was cut this year but it looked to me that the images on the "curve ahead" signs were actually just spaghetti noodles.

This was the 1st sign I encountered.

While I understand noodles are curvy by nature, it was difficult to gauge what kind of turn was actually coming. See below.

Is it angel hair?

At one point I thought I was losing my mind. I came across a sign with a fork that said "oops we put this up by accident". If it was put up by accident then how did it already have text on it?

This one looks like a clear picture of a fork twirled with spaghetti.

Just when I thought there would be no more, another sign with what seems like a full plate of spaghetti popped up.

This was the last one I encountered.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but a simple "Curve Ahead" sign with no images probably would get the point across. Again, I'm no expert but really all the signs did for me was make me hungry for spaghetti.

Sincerely,

Confused driver

RESPONSE:

Hey confused driver,

Hopefully this response will clarify the new signs. First off, we're really proud of them! And as long as you had a general idea that a curve was coming at some point on your drive then we consider them a success!

The signs are actually hand-spun bucatini noodles (a variant of spaghetti) that Jimmy brought in for lunch. Jimmy works here. We couldn't quite figure out how to draw a squiggly line on the computer so we figured just taking snapshots of the bucatini noodles would suffice. The signs make us hungry as well! Enjoy the road!
