Park at Kansas and 22nd (San Francisco.) Walk onto pedestrian bridge, strap panels to fencing with bungee cords.
Some signs and how they got there. These particular fences and overpasses are in the San Francisco Bay Area, but equivalent ones can be found just about anywhere. Next time you’re driving, look around at everything you can see, fencing in particular. Those are places you can put signs that’ll be read. The harder they are to reach, the longer they’ll stay up. This knowledge will become more and more important in the days and weeks ahead.
Park at Holladay Ave. & Faith St. Walk onto bridge and bungee signs into place. Good for very large signs.
Park at Seabreeze Market & Deli (Berkeley.) Walk 500 feet onto University Ave overcrossing (sidewalk provided. Drop sign in between handrail and fencing. Walk back.

Take Marinwood exit from US 101 Novato (Marin County) Park, walk to overpass, squeeze sign into gap (gap is 12 inches tall.)
Look for dumpsters like this (Valley Furniture, Rohnert Park) behind large furniture stores. Ask if it’s okay to take some cardboard. (It is.) Cardboardwise, you’re set for life.
Regatta Ave. exit on I-580 (Richmond, California) Park by railroad bridge, climb four foot concrete abutment and walk out over lanes. Strap panels to fence with bungee cords. Walk back.

Prius packed with signs. Cardboard is light, free, durable and foldable. Painted white, you can make signs of any size or shape using white duct tape and a boxcutter.
Fence at the end of Holladay Ave. (San Francisco) overlooking US 101. 100 feet from lanes, damn near impossible to find.
Novato CA: Park at Nave Dr. and Bolling Dr. Cross street and bungee to fence. (Note corner squeezed in between bar and fence — this saves you a bungee.)
