Well, you have enlightened me regarding these signs.

Although I'm generally up on signage policies, I did not realize that the construction companies are the ones that post the orange warning signs.

So I'm sure that the majority of drivers do not realize the difference either.

goes right in line with our ding bat in austin house that authored a bill to make it a ..."CRIME ...TO BUY A FIREARM AND COMMIT A CRIME"

Speaking of stupid redundancy.......the federal government publishes a document known as the "MUTCD" which is the "Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices." It provides highly detailed specs that are used all over the USA. It details how big signs should be, their color, their placement, striping data, signal lights, school zones.....you get the picture.

This is why you can drive all over the USA and the TCD will have a consistent look, color, and placement.

But I swear (can't be 100% sure) that TexDOT has decided to add a useless sign to our state's mix, to wit:

"State Law - Observe All Warning Signs."

I have always thought that if the state posts a sign, you obviously have to obey it. Why does TexDOT feel that they have to state the obvious? SMH.

How about another example of redundancy? I'm not sure if this is Texas practice, or some other state's charging practices, but here goes:

A person commits a crime with a gun, such as "aggravated assault", then catches an additional charge of "using a firearm while committing a felony".
It seems like a useless add-on charge.
