OTET/Bike Rt 1 - signs - Dalton, OH? Any thoughts?
These signs are at the intersection of Rt 94 and Rt 30 as you are going north to the start of the Sippo Valley Trail in Dalton, OH.
Does anyone know what the OUT sign is for? It is pointing to turn left/west on Rt 30 - which is a 4 lane highway. I can't make any sense of it, other than it is a joke - as I interpreted it when I rode thru that night. Other than "out" meaning to "get off the trail and get comfortable" I am not sure what that sign could mean. Which is why I ask if anyone knows what it really means? Either way, I still find it quite humorous.

It's not cycling related at all. "OUT" = EXIT for the Dalton Dari-ette Drive In. There is a corresponding "IN" sign at the south end of the driveway/ parking lot of the establishment.

Though, I still find the humor in it in combination with the cycling signs. Regardless of the weather on that trip (cool and wet), that trail terminus (west end of the Sippo Valley, if you are following the OTET from S to N) is after about 20 miles of hilly country roads - the most elevation gain segment of the whole trip. So there is always reason to want "out" for anyone on the route going that direction at that point in the route.
