Mumalot

Instructions unclear: waited go on on stop slow
deerhunter7979
Directions unclear...I’ll just stay here and masturbate.

Or just hire a monkey to do that same job as a flagger

Why was everyone afraid of Slow? Because Slow 8 Stop! HAHAHAHA!

HueTheHuman
thats alot of money for a fancy sign spinner. or just a yield sign.
jsnforce
Neat.
Phischstaebchen
What is it for?
Beelsebooob
Why would you not just use lights?
moih
Because this is much funnier. I guess.
swinglinered
More stuff to break
funneydude
I thought it would be easier to use a venetian shutter type design
suckmytoe
That sign just stole someone’s job!!

Would not a simple red and yellow light be cheaper
corvumm
sure but it would be way less cool
Kaler
I give it 2-3 days for dickbutt to appear instead of the slow....
bud467
I'll work on it

I clicked your comment expecting the gif to be already made. Now my comment will disappoint others like I was.
MrSaturday
You had me hoping.
IJustLikeToArgue
Your comment disappointed me.
bgsteiner
Sorry i normally do that stuff but its late and im already in bed
martinweesarah4
Where is this ireland @OP
Thefivecard
Actually Oklahoma U.S.
Thefivecard
it's in the US, Oklahoma specifically
martinweesarah4
Looks like ireland with the mountain and tree suppose ther everywhere.....
ASneakyTurtle
Damn that's smooth
Sheldonian
To whoever made that mechanical sign
CryptBeast
He doesn't need your love. He probably charges the road admin $100K per day for it.

That's not mechanical though. That's a display. Unless I am wrong.
Rubeuss
Looks mechanical to me, you can see the shadows where it comes oit
SuperBeetle76
You can see the seam I little bit at the bottom. I say mechanical
Sheldonian
A display with that form and that resolution would be too expensive for something like that and not that practical, also the lightning.
cvnk
Must be confusing as hell the first time you see that thing. "GO ON SLOW"? WTF does that mean?
Phischstaebchen
I feel like this belongs to James May?
km9v
It's cheaper than hiring a flag man
necronomiconwaytwitty
Wait go on on stop slow.
ThisIsSnek
Don't dead, open inside
BavarianBarbarian
Bob Dylan?
CrystalCry
DONT DEAD OPEN INSIDE

This is literally the comment I was going to make. You beat me to it.
Vegonbrei
So wait, go on stop just slowly. Makes sense to me.
somethingyouthinkisfunny
"ST7S"
complainsabouteverythingpmuch
fambil
its funny, because in germany we use a simple traffic light
TheEdmontonMan
same in canada, it's a mini traffic light on a pole like this, just no sign
Ireadtoomuch
roadwork sign, might cost 200k but i mean you dont have to pay anyone hazard or insurance
FireBelliedNewt
It's for stop n goes when they do road works.
Mithi
Yeah, mobile traffic lights. Been a thing in Germany since forever. Well I can only remember ~45 years, but close enough.
Joylove
I’ve also seen a lollipop with STOP on one side and SLOW on the other. Rotates 180deg to show the other sign then radios it’s buddy to do it
HumorLeech
This isn't a permanent installation. It's a mobile traffic sign they use during road maintenance.
TanithRosenbaum
We use a simple regular traffic light for non-permanent road maintenance too http://www.welz-verkehrssicherung.de/files/start_ampel_1.jpg
theredacted
And usually they have a 2 guys standing on the road with these two signs.
dudeinsha
It still seems over engineered.
BrutalQuasar
I think the point is that a mobile traffic light would be simpler and cheaper to make.
Mistruths
Lights use more power. That thing above could probably last much longer.
Abracanawbra
I will take solid state LED's over moving parts for longevity any day.
thelastboomer
Just wait some jerk will Hack it to have a jack-o’-lantern and a zombie face
thelastboomer
It IS mechanical system, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be hacked. http://www.autoflagger.com/products/autoflagger-76/
PatrickStarsFrontTooth
It can't be hacked to the degree that you said, is my point. Not that it can't be hacked

SickOfThisCessPool
It's mechanical, not digital. That jerk would need to hacksaw it to change the signs.
RosieGarden
No, just paint.
InvadingYourSpaces
You mean paint it?
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
PatrickStarsFrontTooth
That's still a sign, not a screen
Fenderzilla
Signs: hacked
holdingthephone
So?
MrDeadsr
Can't hack an actual sign
SoThatsWhere
This usage of hack predates modern computers, and comes from MIT campus culture or its model railway club, depending on who you ask.
holdingthephone
Why not?
AliBarber
Weak trolling effort
KiwiBeans
just gotta know the right guy https://media.giphy.com/media/26tPnAAJxXTvpLwJy/giphy.gif
coolguy4206969
How sure are you? I don't see a mechanical way for this to work
lllllwheh200
See kids there is such a thing as a dumb question.
AliBarber
Really? Cos it's super easy to work out from watching it
DavyDavyDave
ph0xhole
There is a slit from middle to bottom of the 2 signs, the slow sign is pushed/retracted through the stop sign, pivoting around the center
coolguy4206969
That's what I thought, but then why isn't there a slit once the sign is fully orange?
D34THW41K3R
There is, look harder.
JikaelMackson
Why everyone downvoting my boi just asking an honest question
Fenderzilla
To be fair it's a stupid question
Abracanawbra
And this is a fine example of bandwagon effect.
Anonawesome
Don't usually share trade secrets, but I guess I'll show you the hack I would use.
