In an effort to discourage hiking on local freeways and reduce the number of accidents, The Department of Transportation and city officials have proposed the posting of new "No Hiking" signs along freeway medians and shoulders. As clearly indicated by the lost shoe evidence in this photo taken earlier this week, city officials are concerned over the growing interest in this dangerous activity. It is speculated that the urban hiking phenomenon is a spin-off of the hugely popular urban kayaking craze of 2001. Local lawmakers are scrambling to pass a law that prohibits urban hiking on highways and city streets. The sign in the photo is only a representation of the proposed deterrent. The city has requested an estimated 2,423.5 of the new signs to be posted every 4 feet on both sides of the highway in the newly popular "urban" hiking hot spots. City officials were not available for comment on how this project will affect taxpayers. -Lost Soles Press

DEAR GOD NO! Does this mean that DOT will be issuing citations? Will street jibbers be ticketed as well?
