Rules and Suggestions for Roadside Attractions

If you want your RA to be maximally appreciated, please follow these rules.

RA should be located on a major route into or out of town. Or, next to the town/city hall. Not everyone wants to drive down every street.
- In most Canadian towns, Railway Street is an acceptable option.
If you're going to hide the RA in some remote part of town just because the mayor or council member owns said land, don't expect me to look very hard. And, I can't buy a tank of gas and/or greasy meal and/or tacky souvenir at one of your tasteful shops if I'm chasing aimlessly around your sleepy little burg, can I?
If your town has a tourist information office, please ensure that all personnel at that office are aware of the location and significance of the RA.

RA should face the road, so people can choose to photograph it from their car. (Even though most dedicated RA-ers will actually stop their car and get out to take a picture.)
RA should be located so natural light (ie. the sun) illuminates it for optimum photogenic-ness. (Photogenosity? Photogenuity?) Nothing worse than getting your developed pictures back with bright sunny background and a dark shapeless blob in the foreground.
- In the northern hemisphere, this means on the north side of a road or street.

Signs on all major roads into town bragging about your RA, and directions to the RA, are welcome. Although, if you follow rule 1, this should be redundant.
Please provide easy access to, and sufficient parking next to, the RA.
A plaque stating the importance, and the reasons for choosing a certain animal/vegetable/person/cartoon character of the RA is helpful.
Arranging for perfect blue skies during RA hunting season - January through December - would be much appreciated. (See rule 2.)

RA's do not have to be good looking or professionally sculpted. Ugly can be interesting.
RA's should be as large as possible. Two reasons: people can find them easily, and hopefully, you will brag about having the world's largest whatever.
- Any RA can the be called the world's largest. Even if it isn't. Sounds more important that way, and is more likely to attract attention to your town.
Think twice before building "The World's Smallest" anything. Hardly something you brag about, is it?
