Department Of Traffic Sign

We happened to spot this old sign on a new-ish gate at the Surrogate’s Court on Adams Street in Brooklyn.

Despite our 30 years in Brooklyn, we don’t recall ever seeing any signs that were issued by the Department of Traffic — or ever even hearing about the Department of Traffic — so we assumed that this old sign was an ancient relic from Roman times (before the end of the Republic), back when centurions used to block the driveways to the courts with their horses and Germanic slaves.

We can only hope that this sign isn’t up because it has been stuck in probate all these years…  ZING!

*We’ve emailed Kevin Walsh from Forgotten NY who informed us the sign is likely a prior to 1975 sign.

We found this old sign along Brooklyn’s Shore Road Bike Path…

It’s merely used for show and is actually rather meaningless because just as automobiles feel as though they have right of way over bicycles, people on bicycles feel the same way about people walking. 

Although, it does create some nice ambiance with it leaning on a tilt at about 60 degrees.

Antique Warning Sign

We found this rusting sign adorning P.S. 104 in Brooklyn, NY. 

We have no idea how old this rusty sign is, but it is making reference to Penal Law 722-b. 

When we looked up 722-b within the New York Penal Code, we found that this sign is truly antiquated. 

722-b in the New York Penal Code references “Compensation and reimbursement for representation.” It has nothing to do with loitering or trespassing or disorderly conduct or schools.

Either way, it’s one heck of a cool sign.
