What do you do to stop the ink from running when the sticker gets rained on? My "Flush the Johns" sticker ran some when I got caught in a rain shower. I need to make some more of them.

I printed up six for my 3-day drive to Dallas from Denver (Discussed on This thread) this weekend. I only lost three and the remaining survivors didn't have running ink problems at all. Just make sure they dry completely before handling them.
Perhaps laminating them?

Have you tried a waterproofing silicone or clear acrylic spray? Not sure how durable they are if exposed to prolonged periods of rain, but might be worth a shot.

Buy a can of clear coat spray paint and spray your sticker before attaching.

This may have already been mentioned, but if not, I purchased a spray can of Clear Acrylic Satin finish from Lowes in the paint department. I sprayed two coats and it has held up very well.
