California artist creates "positive" street signs

A California street artist has produced a new kind of peace sign. When you’re driving around town, simply relax when you see them.

Instead of familiar street signs that order drivers to "stop," "yield," or "do not enter," Scott Froschauer's signs urge drivers to "relax," "do your best," or "breathe."

The Glendale Library launched Froschauer's "Word on the Street" art works last week, placing 20 of his signs at parks throughout the city, KABC reported. Froschauer's website has a map that shows where the signs are located.

“There’s nothing more mundane than, like, a stop sign, because you just see it every day and you start to blur them out,” Froschauer told KABC.

His street signs convey positive messages, he said. Instead of “Stop,” his octagonal sign reads “Start.”

The signs will be on display for one year, KABC reported.
