Question No Racing Zone

What is this supposed to mean?



So as long as it's during the day you can race? ...or is it that you can race, just as long as you're not there?

These signs are in Southcenter, Tuckwila, Kent, and probably elsewhere in Washington state. What's next? No speeding signs? Accidents prohibited? Illegalness illegal?

Sheesh...

Fine! I'll just have to do my illegal street racing elsewhere.

I've seen those signs, wonder if they mean that there's a more expensive ticket if youre racing at a particular time/place?

I think they are trying to curb traffic and loitering bystanders after 10pm. I don't know what areas those signs are located it, but there are areas in the suburbs of Atlanta where punks like to congregate and race because of the high volume of stop lights within a 2 mile straight stretch. Those morons race stop light to stop light. Scores of their friends would come and watch until 3-4am if not later.

It's probably similiar to the 'No Cruising' zone in Atlanta. Can't cruise from 12am-5am in the streets of Atlanta. You cruise, you get ticketed and they can search your car.

We do have no speeding signs up all the time around construction areas or places where roadwork's being done.

Kinda like U-Turns signs, IMO.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find the important signs amongst all the other junk. Sooner or later, driving down the highway will be like reading your state's legal code, page by page, sign by sign.

How does one distinguish between the important sings and the meaningless stuff? "Speed checked by radar." "Traffic laws enforced." Perhaps these signs are evidence that somebody has a sense of humour. ...or that they think drivers are complete morons. Actually, I guess the latter is more likely.

The "No racing zone" sign really makes me wonder. It rather implicitly suggests that other places are racing zones, and that racing is okay during the day. It's really not possible to make a reasonable interpretation that indicates otherwise. The only problem is that this [the correct] interpretation is clearly not legal, nor what was meant.

I'm curious to know if there is some regulation that requires an offense to take place in this "non-racing zone."

It's nice to live in a very small city... we have few billboards... one escalator... and none of those signs.

maybe the traffic is soooo bad in Tukwila during the day that the only time to race would be in the evening.

Of course, thats the way it is in most of this region....

On the subject of curious road signs...

I like the LOW FLYING AIRCRAFT signs on the Airport Loop Road at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International.
