The other day I drove by the La Costa Oaks area and saw markers for a new development. They weren’t using a sign or a sign-twirler, but instead were using a PVC upright with about 7 multi-colored baloons attached. There were two of them; one for each side of the intersection on Rancho Santa Fe Road. They both looked kinda like a bunch of grapes. I thought that was an effective alternative to paying some kid $10/hour to stand out in the sun and dance for the traffic.
