Na końcu ciągu pieszo-rowerowego przy ulicy Piaśnickiej znajduje się znak stopu z dodatkową tabliczką pod spodem, przedstawiającą rower oraz schody.

Celem tego znaku było prawdopodobnie ostrzeżenie rowerzystów, że powinni teraz zejść z pojazdu. Wygląda jednak na to, że znak ten sugeruje, że należy zjechać rowerem... po schodach! Pokazuje on również, jak można "rozwiązać" problem braku odpowiedniej infrastruktury rowerowej - przestać jeździć rowerem! Absurd :)


At the end of a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists on Piaśnicka Street, there is a stop sign with an additional plate underneath, that depicts a bike, stairs and the word "stairs".

The point of this sign was probably to warn cyclists that they should now get off the vehicle. But it looks like this sign implicates that you should go with the bike... down the stairs! It also shows how you can "solve" the problem of lack of adequate bike infrastructure - just stop biking! Absurd :)

Did you explain the double meaning of the word(s)?: yes

Did you explain the location or wording that brings the sign's double meaning to mind?: yes

Did you explain the meaning of life? :): Not Listed
