Put 'em in the tourist areas. Once when I was a kid, our family went to Chicago for a day and I was so impressed looking up at the buildings that I walked straight into a parking meter. That shit hurts.

How about they use the money allocated for this to REPAVE THE FUCKING FREEWAY?

I'd be happy to let em repave the freeway, but I think some safety nags wouldn't like all the advertisements confusing the lane lines and other on-road instructions.

@7 - because that comes from the State Sales Tax at the pump.

Some parts of Seattle don't have sidewalks yet, you know. Maybe they could use some?

Amen, @9. I feel like my ass is going to get run over at least twice a day.

I wish they had those when I was learning to parallel park. It would have saved passenger side of my mother's buick from looking like a crush car at a monster truck rally.

looks like an add for 811?
let the adverts pay for it.
make sure its not permanent and changes on a regular basis.
and easy to remove so the kids don't hurt themselves tearing them down in the middle of the night
