I decided to just go for numbers today, so I made these “Impeach” signs from two furniture boxes before driving from Sacramento to San Francisco.
The one word message and simple fonts allowed a much quicker and more streamlined tracing/painting process, so all this was done in a little over two hours.
Signs were placed over or alongside Interstates 80 and 280, and Highways 50, 99 and 101 in Sacramento, Solano and Alameda counties and the City of San Francisco. By the end of the day they were seen probably close to half a million times. Out of the hundreds of billboards and signs I saw today, these were the only protest signs.
Pictures are placed roughly in order of most to least interesting, but I hope you’ll scroll through to the end. Someday you might get mad enough to want to do this. Frankly, so long as it’s legible, the smaller the sign the better — plenty of people still see it, but very few are motivated to spend the time to take it down.
My favorite overpasses are configured with railings just in front of, but not bound to, the fencing, so signs just slide in, like so:
This was posted by parking in the Vallejo Safeway parking lot, walking to the front of my car, and pretty much just sticking it between a light pole and the fence directly next to Interstate 80. If you look for places like these you will find them.
