The blue are usually set in the roadway to indicate a fire hydrant on the side of the road. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me that a local supermarket at one point had an "open 25 hours a day" sign. When my son was young that sign used to bother him. They subsequently changed ownership and are no longer open around the clock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
