Counties don’t put their best foot forward and they don’t roll out the welcome mat when you visit on a road trip. Instead, travelers see names such as Marin, Merced, Monterey, Kings and Fresno shown in photos, along with posted warnings about laws, speeding and emergencies. It’s enough to make you want to never stop.<\/p>\n

The most common warnings include “Speed Checked by Radar” and “Radar Enforced”.\u00a0 Then there’s the comforting “Emergency Call 9-1-1”. In Kings County you also get a mustard yellow sign warning “Subject to High Winds And Dust Next 16 Miles”.
