Does anyone know what the story is with these signs? (1 Viewer)

What are they for? Who puts them up? They've been bugging me for years. Usually have little images on them instead of words / letters. They're all over the city. Anyone?

Not exactly the Toynbee Tiles mystery, but still.

I think these are just direction signs for events. Like if there was a festival happening, they would have signs that only backstage staff would know about. Either that or it's the Illuminati at work again.

that's what i was thinking, but you see them in the strangest places with no indication of any activity around.

they're put up by production companies and are suppose to direct the 'stars' to the filming location. There were ones for Raw around town a while back that said 'RAW' on them, imaginatively enough.

I know this because I had a friend who was in 'On Home Ground' a few years ago. The ones for that had a picture of a hurl (hurley stick) on them.

yep they're usually for filming location directions.
