In my neck of the world (S. Nevada) the sign posts are perforated
galvanized 2" square stock. I have a "friend" (Johnny...Table) who
will pick up wiped out sign posts. Handy stuff. The signs
themselves, not so handy "he" says. :-)

What's amazing to me is how many get flattened in totally decent
weather. Don't know how many times I've gone by a stop sign, street
sign or directional divider sign one day and it's bent over flat the
next. No ice, no rain, nothing. Bunch of drunks, must be. Guess it
keeps the street department in work. Body shops, too. You'd have a
hard time straightening out those sign posts, most resemble a lazy "S"
after ending up underneath. Have some three foot tall concrete
bollards about a foot in diameter in front of the neighborhood post
office, somebody flattened a couple of those, too. Have a 3" pipe in
the center, also filled with concrete. Can't think of any car short
of one traveling at speed flattening one, had to have been a really
substantial truck. Painted bright yellow, too, not exactly
camoflaged. Glad I'm not out much that late(or that early).

Speaking of late or early, just a reminder--if you have kids and set them
a curfew, make sure it's long enough before or after the bars close that
you aren't forcing them to be on the road with all the drunks heading
home.

In Vegas, at about Tropicana and Annie Oakley, or right about there, is a
corner house that had a car come through the diagonaled corner of their
block wall fence on the corner. It did this about three times. Then they
put three columns, each about four 8-8-16 cinderblock on row, and about six
rows high. More than four feet. Then they poured them solid with concrete.
I have passed by there since, and although no one has made it past them,
they have taken what had to be massive hits, one time nearly obliterating
one of the monoliths. That driver had to be sailing, and had they not put
the monoliths there, probably would have ended up in the pool, back yard, or
in the house. When they put them in, I figured that I would see some dings
here and there. But these things have taken some massive blows. Sure did
help with rebuilding the block wall every few months, though.
