For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

The problem is that humans are not Xerox machines and we don't read by a direct line moving ahead of us, but instead we focus on objects. If the "LANE | BIKE" sign were separated by fifty feet it would be logical, as each line would be its own distinct object, but by having them so close it actually inhibits attribution.

I would argue that as soon as that's the case and letters have to be spread far and wide, a sign might be more appropriate.
