While visiting my parents on the weekend, I noticed a sign at the entrance to one of the trails. Apparently, the people in charge of the parks in Richmond felt that a series of pictographs would be the best way to communicate the rules.

Here they are: the rules of Richmond's West Dyke Trail:


The first one seems to indicate who should yield to whom. Either that or it shows who gets run over by whom. Apparently the guy on the bike can run over either the person with one hand or the drunk sailor with pegs for feet.


Dogs should be attentive? Dogs should point the way? Dogs should run on AC power?


Cyclists should break wind at hitch-hikers? Or is that a one-legged man on a pogo stick?



Always leave your fingers next to a flower.



Tiny dogs should be buried? Tiny dogs should be struck with a shovel? I didn't care for the implications of this one.
