17. Ngpipintura ng Warning Signs

'Note: I dont know how to call their job.... the best one i could think of is the title"


I often wonder, why and mga warning signs, aside sa neon colors, bakit karaniwang painted with black and yellow, or white and red. But mostly talaga, black and yellow just like below:

Even mga roads are sometimes painted in black and yellow, pati na rin ung railings para sa overpass, and sa tabi ng traffic light, to inform the public na "di dito pwede tumawid, umakyat kayo sa overpass kung maaari" or" bawal ang jay walking dito", proof?

the proof ha

But maybe because attractive sa mata ang combination ng black at yellow and so madali itong makikita. Sabi ni Mr. Wiki, "yellow with black letters and symbols are for warning signs, such as curves and school zones". Kaya pala, kasi malapit rin sa skul ung overpass pati na rin yung traffic light.

But actually, what really amazes me is yung ngpipintura, kasi they know perspective, parati kasing diagonally straight and even ang painted road signs horizontally straight talaga. At naiingit ako, kasi un ang wala sa akin, even if mr. ruler will guide me, horizontal straight will not really be that horizontally oriented.

ang road sign....para makita ng mudlang public

And i am really fortunate na sa aking pglalakad may nakita akong mga guys na nagpipintura ng road signs. Puno sila ng warning signs, syempre for safety baka kasi masagasaan sila (simba ko palayo! hehe) or whatever. They were so careful sa kanilang work, no room for clumsy things. In a year ilang beses ba nila pinipinturahan ang mga road signs? and also. how do they keep the lines straight? Bakit straight na straight talaga? I might ask them later, sana mamya nandun pa sila.
