You take those two flags out of the holder and place them in the slots on the back of the diamond sign, which you would presumably unfold. But what sort of event would call for such steps to be taken?
Day 106
So…
July 10th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
BIG cattle xcrossing??? cross at your own risk???
caution – Truck entering
Thanks Glenda.
Do any of them do it the “old fashioned way” with horses any more? I think it would look just weird cattle driving in your Ford or Chevy pickup truck instead of your horse.
I still do it the “old fashioned way” with horses …does that count? Or wait, maybe you were referring to something else? Sorry.
I think the flags are for road construction..or when there is danger / blockage on the road.
Stumped I am. Amplifies the power of the pyramid?? Big Sky ahead? Dino’s still crossing.
“Dino’s still crossing” – that would be under danger/blockage on the road!
Now if it were the 1800’s…you could wait days for the buffalo herds to pass…that is what the early trains even had to endure…sooooo…send in the hunters…took care of that problem…just caused others…
So the wait for cattle to cross…even for hundreds of head…not much of a problem…
I think that the signs are for road closures due to snow. I traveled (by car) through this area once in the winter and yeah, was stuck in some small town for a few days because of snow and snow drifts. If I remember right they had signs with flags to warn travelers not to go on the roads (when they didn’t have the roads completely blocked off with gates).
Cattle drive?
only if they have their licenses……
Usually something like High Wind Warning, Ice, or as Morgaine says, Snow, etc. Not a cattle drive, we have driven through when the cows were right in the road and the cowboys just moved them aside for us!
Keep on going, Matt!
Maybe they wave them on Flag Day?? heehee
cute one…lmao
Emergency Matador flag in case a bull shows up?
You’re the road engineer…don’t YOU know?
Good one Janine!! I didn’t even connect that one.
Dinosaur crossing
At first glance, I thought it was a monster firecracker!
HA! Me too. My first thought was dynamite.
It’s for road construction warnings. We have them in Eastern Washington as well. They insert the flags into the slots to warn of upcoming road construction or repair.
Ours are also used for avalanche blasting warnings, but that is because we live in the Cascade Mountains.
It’s to guide the UFO’s to what field needs to have a crop circle.
They’re for cow parades, of course! And I’m sure the drop down sign says something to the effect of ‘It’s your lucky day – a cattle parade is underway.’ … at which point, every traveler is obliged to park and place a ball cap over his/her heart for such a moooving experience.
I’m a little teary eyed just thinking about it.
A NASCOW RACE IN MONTANA!!! COWS MOO YOUR MOUTHS!!!
I thought surely someone would already know—can’t believe I am admitting to having lived on a farm…but when farmers move cattle from one field to another, across the road/highway, it might be beneficial to keep them from being hit by cars. In Europe, you see sheep crossings. Here, you have cattle crossings.
And that’s all I gots to say…
trucks entering.
