3163...Stop Ou Arreter

Cranston, Rhode Island, is a town of 80,000 people, about the size of Kingston.

A safety minded resident or residents of that town has put up 700 unauthorized stop signs in the city. Actually that is only part of the story "...as WPRI-TV reports, [city officials] say they've only partially solved the mystery of who put up nearly 700 stop signs that hadn't gotten proper approval. State Department of Transportation officials have said their workers were responsible for about one-third of the signs. The other two-thirds? A spokeswoman for the mayor says many may have been installed by city residents."

Question One: Where does one go to buy a stop sign?

Question Two: Are they valid, like, dya have to stop?

I don't have the answer for Question One but the answer to Question Two, direct from the mayor's office, is that "drivers ... should not take this as a free pass. A stop sign is a stop sign."
