Signs

Sometimes I think that Boston makes up for the signs that it should have that it doesn't have with signs that it does have that it doesn't need: thickly settled (no area labelled "thickly settled" ever seems to look more densely inhabitted than regular suburbia), end of state road, etc.

you misinterpret the sign.

'thick' does not refer to an elevated number of individuals per square mile, but rather a depressed average iq of those individuals.

that is, 'thickly settled' ought to be construed as 'full of idiots who are likely to place their bodies directly in front of your car at any moment, so look out'
