	Recently I drove to NY city and noticed the following
sign on the road surface about 100 feet before the toll booths
on the bridges.(These signs are recent).
		LANE MANNED
	This is apparently to warn people who drive looking down
on the tar surface, that the lane is attended by a 'man'. To my
surprise I found the toll collector to be a female.
	I am no supporter of era but was sure offended by these
chauvinistic signs.
