Things that make you go hmmm

“Not sure what a Tixe is but….. “

but thumper, at least you know where they are!

and there are ‘exit’ signs in the car park that point AWAY from the actual exits. bizarre.

the whole car park, and its access lanes, have been incredibly awfully and stupidly designed, haven’t they? i thought canberra had learnt from the backwards belconnen bus debacle… sad.

That’s my point, Sammy. These look like the normal green backlit fire exit signs, but they’re not: they are pointing to the exit for cars from the carpark. It’s weird.

Ok, so maybe they’re blue.

These aren’t fire exit signs

They look like fire exit signs to me. Backlit, and green.

It would appear there is, on average, one “exit” per car space in that car park. Has anyone else noticed the proliferation of exit signs pointing to exits that just don’t appear to exist? Perhaps the blue, upside down signs are for cars and the green right-way-round signs are for pedestrians? It’s all so abundantly clear, if you think about it really, really, hard… while squinting… jumping on one leg and trying to get all the way up through the car park levels on the travelators without tripping over the people coming down due to the somewhat poorly considered decision to alternate the up and down directions rather than pair them neatly together as is the custom.

I was just about to send that photo into you JB, I took about 4 of them the other day. I laughed for a while when I noticed it.

(One day I’ll be able to say “that”)

Isn’t taht how Kiwis say “Taxi”?
-Or maybe S’Effricans…

They are in fact very badly spelt “Taxi” signs. Put up by Jim and his band of migrant workers.

These aren’t fire exit signs – they are the signs that point to the exit for cars, aren’t they? The new carparks have virtually no signs, meaning it’s quite amusing to see people try to get their way out, and what signs they do have are inverted like this one.
