Obeying the law

Remember when the Pennsylvania legislature passed this law for pedestrian right-of-way. A number of these signs are often found in the middle of the road, where drivers can see them.

In places like Conshohocken, Narberth, and other pedestrian-friendly shopping corridors, these signs are noticeable.
But the popular thing in Manayunk apparently is to keep these signs on the pavement. Keeping these signs on the pavement, one must assume keeps these signs from further damage (as evidenced by this signs condition).
But the flip side is the 20 minutes of waiting to cross Main St. at intersections without a traffic light on weekends because motorists do not know the law because somebody moved the important sign.
