    Yellow yard signs

    Hey you guys in Missouri, I am in St. Charles County and I am seeing good sized yellow signs with a slogan " Watch for Motorcycles". on it in peoples yards. Where are these coming from and how do I get a couple of them??

          I'm in Chesterfield, MO for the week for work. No signs out this way! Not that I've driven around any neighborhoods!

          I'm apparently missing out on a nice week of riding weather

            Okay,

            I found out online that local MAC groups are working with local bike shops to provide the signs. I don't know if they are charging for them??

            This is one I found in Louisianna.



            Here's a Missouri Local Story..the link and a small quote:



            For a number of years the motorcycle rights organizations around the State of Missouri have held rides in an effort to promote May as Motorcycle Awareness Month. With pending legislation in Jefferson City the need for annual Proclamation runs may become a thing of the past...



            The effort to gain awareness of motorcycles has been mirrored by the appearance of the bright yellow signs seen in the yards of homes and businesses to bumper stickers on vehicles both private and governmental. These highly visible reminders to Watch for Motorcycles are part of the Missouri Department of Transportation's Arrive Alive-Save MO Lives campaign. All awareness items including signs, bumper stickers and window decals can be obtained from local Missouri Department of Transportation offices or any member of Freedom of Road Riders.

              "Motorcycle Awareness" sounds a bit like a disease. I guess it goes along with catching the motorcycle "bug".
