Thursday: That's dumb

They're repaving roads in my neighborhood, so there are a bunch of cones signs up all over the place.  While waiting for a truck to move this morning, I noticed that one of the signs was a "right lane closed ahead" that had a patch over the "right" converting it into the similar "left lane closed ahead" sign.  Which you can buy online.  That's not the point of this though.

It made me think.  Take one of those, and put left on one side, right on the other.  Then, attach an opaque cloth to one side that can cover whichever sign you don't need.  Put some snaps or something so you can hold the opaque cloth in place.  There.  Now you have both signs in one place, and you don't need to patch one into the other.  You always have both.  Surely I can't be the only one who's thought of this, right?
