Didn’t you review the traffic regulations?

So I was driving through New Jersey (don’t ask…) and when one enters the NJ Turnpike, there is a metal sign that says “Traffic Regulations.”

Yeah, seriously, it says that.

The text is about 12 point font and the entire sign is about 1 meter by 1 meter square and it’s on the right side of the tollbooths.  I’ve seen it several times. The questions is: Why? I mean, it’s impossible to read. The text is so small, it must be picked up and taken along with you to read it.

Well, I guess when you get pulled over, the NJ Gestapo can say “Didn’t you read the traffic regulations?” I would retort with “Well, if they were in font that a human can read instead of an Eagle, I probably would have.”
