A sign of movement: Don’t Walk
BY BRUCE KAUFFMANN FOR THE
Telegraph Herald – Dubuque, IA
*** begin quote ***
In 2004, the good citizens of Christianfield, Denmark — libertarians to the core — decided to remove all of the traffic signs and signals, including the Denmark equivalent of “Don’t Walk” signs, from their most dangerous intersection. This was done to determine if they would be safer without government intervention, which is what traffic signs unquestionably represent.
“What if,” these citizens asked themselves, “it was up to us, not Denmark’s transportation department, to determine the safest way of crossing an intersection?”
After several months of forgoing government traffic signs and depending on their judgment — including approaching the intersection cautiously — the number of serious accidents dropped to zero.
An isolated, non-representative example? Maybe.

Maybe we can try “freedom” and “liberty”?
