Boulder Probes Unauthorized Traffic Signs with Explicit Messages

Boulder, Colorado, is investigating a series of unauthorized traffic signs with explicit messages that were placed at key locations, including 28th Street, a known accident-prone area. The signs, which include phrases like 'SLOW THE F— DOWN' and 'DON'T KILL ANY KIDS TODAY,' were professionally made, leading to speculation about their origin. Despite their intentions to promote road safety, these signs have been deemed distracting and are being investigated as criminal tampering by local police. The Transportation and Mobility Department has removed the signs, but it remains unclear who placed them. While some residents support the message, others criticize the method, agreeing with police that there are more appropriate ways to address traffic safety. The incident has sparked discussion on social media, highlighting ongoing concerns about speeding and distracted driving in Boulder.
