Where is the sign that tells drivers how many points they get for running over a criminal?

What gets me are the signs that give a dollar amount fine for hitting or killing a worker. Something is very wrong. I know how it's meant, but a human life shouldn't have a price tag.

Leonf; your ask if Phoenix911 can speak Braille ?

I don't know myself, but if he does (is it he?), I guess it would only be when he 'feels' like it.

The shadow from the deer crossing sign has been stolen. Any information on it's whereabouts or the crooks responsible is greatly appreciated.
