If you really want something to be functional, make it extraordinary and remarkable.

In Illionois, they are putting interesting text on their stop signs like “Woahhhhh” and “Stop… and smell the roses.” My guess is they aren’t doing it to be cute either. It costs more money to put the extra text on the stop signs, but it works to make them more effective since drivers slow down to read it. Not to mention that it’s a street sign and it’s fun.

What are some other boring things that could be more effective if they were fun?
