Modern Hobo Symbols

In December 2008 Rob Cockerham created new Hobo Symbols

Modern Hobo Code

The legendary "hobo code"was a set of covert markings used to warn other hobos about danger or to clue them into good situations. As times have changed, a new set of code symbols have emerged to alert other hobos to circumstances in modern America. Perhaps you have seen them on your own city streets.
