This is one of my favorite (so far) photos that I’ve included in the site, despite–or maybe because of–the mishmash of objects and lines it contains. The location is the south side of the maintenance center for Tucson’s SunLink modern streetcar line. As you can see, the admonition is visible from the Union Pacific rails nearby, for the benefit of those aboard Amtrak’s Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited, as well as 70-or-so freight trains daily. Downtown pedestrians and drivers on Sixth Avenue can also view this message, framed by lovely skies and the Santa Catalina mountains, seen in the upper left here. At night, the message glows in blue.
This sign features prominently in my (as yet uncollected) list of Unintended Life Advice findings. Also included: “Walk With Light,” and “Keep Cool. Do Not Freeze.” which could be found on a jar of mayonnaise.
