Don’t Give Money to People in the Roadway - Sign 50

We have seen the signs "Don’t Give Money to Persons in the Roadway" in some exit of interstates or road junctions around our city.

Fig 01- Sign of don't give to persons.

The sign could be mean that "they are panhandling for money, to buy more drugs." so, don’t be a part of their problem.

We used to give money because we didn't understand then when we realized what we were doing we started giving water bottles and baggies of small items.

We got rude comments from many panhandlers. So now we don't give anything but it's hard to sit there and ignore them now.

Actually, there are organizations that give care packages of food out and would you like to know what happens to a large portion of them?

Sadly, the packages of food end up wasted on the side of the road or abandoned properties. The food that is given out is almost 100% not consumed.

That sign should be used universally

Cities should have signs like these.

I've struggled with this. I always want to help but I hear this stuff and I don't want to contribute to a problem.

I know it's law now to not have those standing out there asking for money, but they still do in our city. Honestly, we are a generous population. I have heard stories on the news about what they do with the money. Recently, we have had squatters around too. Some developers have come in a demolished those houses to build new apartments.

It is good to read those signs. Also, I don't like stopping once I get on the interstate. Thanks for the post.

We do not have such a brand here.

It's so upsetting to see people/family begging form money. We now have the police/security guards from the stores, etc. come out and move them along out of sight and range. We used to give them $$ but have stopped. So sad.

"don’t be a part of their problem." ... I agree on this ❗
Beautiful hibiscus flower, never seen before a red and yellow one.
