I know it's early but I am willing to bet there will be DUI checkpoint(s) in town on Superbowl Sunday evening. I just want to gauge who can go out there and warn drivers. Lets all support the 4th Amendment as well as the 2nd and 1st Amendments.

There's no such thing as a checkpoint. Police have no authority to check anything.

Vegas? I'm thinking Sparks P.D. might cancel theirs, as they cancelled their December roadblock. :)

If you are going to make signs, make something luminescent. None of the home-made signs (or even the thug roadblock signs) can be read from a respectable distance, until the headlights are right on them.

Also, I was thinking of better wording. GANG ACTIVITY AHEAD: TURN RIGHT NOW! Then, for the people who missed the turn.... WINDOWS UP/DOORS LOCKED. DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS!

how do you mean? I didn't know that was an option without getting arrested.

It's called the Fourth Amendment, or from the other direction "Reasonable Articulable Suspicion of a crime".
You have a 4A right to protection from unwarranted searches & seizures, as well as the right to remain silent.
The police must have RAS in order to detain you (make you feel like you're not free to leave a situation).

My thought as to sign one: "ARMED GANG ACTIVITY AHEAD: TURN NOW!"

Safety First: WINDOWS UP, DOORS LOCKED. DON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS!"

I found a site that will make actual aluminum highway signs but I don't think they are reflective enough and at three pounds that's a lot to carry for hours. (It's illegal to set up a sign on the ground.) Trying to find a place that uses that mesh fabric for signs. And the same vests the roadblockers have.

On my way to work and do not have a cite right now but I have done much work on roadblock research and have read a statute making "unauthorized road or directive signs" illegal,
I would refrain from the "TURN NOW" on the signs. If we have one in Vegas I will go and bring a handful of signs.

So a large reflective arrow with "THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS" would be ill advised? How about "ABANDON ALL HOPE, THOSE WHO ENTER HERE!":shocker:
