What The Concept

Thanks to Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. providing the picture.
Shortly after the tragic collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis, Missouri Department of Transportation implemented a program called Safe & Sound to repair or replace 802 of the most worn-out bridges in Missouri. So far, an excellent and commendable plan. Here comes the asinine part: those bridges that have been selected for repair are marked with the signs shown in the picture (click to enbiggen). The least safe bridges in Missouri now boast signs that exclaim "Safe & Sound." If that isn't one bass-ackward concept, I don't know what is. Thanks, MODOT, for the confusion and misleading information.
