Best road signs

[dhackney]

A long time ago on a trip to the North of England, my wife and I took a shot of a very funny road sign depicting two elderly people crossing the road - a warning sign of a retirement home ahead. Thus began a decade long collection of road sign photos.

Here's a few of ours.

Is this the old folks sign you saw?
This is from Ireland 2006 trip...
Cracked me up when I saw it but realized how cool it was that they respected their elders enough to post the signs...

Yes, that is exactly the sign. I found our shot of it when we were doing The Great Purge in prep for this upcoming expedition, but I don't have it in digital form.

[dhackney]

Was that Ireland car going off a cliff sign from the Dingle Penninsula?

I'm not sure, it's been a few years since we were there. It could have been Dingle or one of the other ones. I think we covered them all except the far NW corner of the Island.

Here's some more car on cliff and in other imperilment signs:

Scott,

I know some people who have done it on bikes. I also know some resources along the way.

We may come back that way from SE Asia. It would be 2-3 years from now, so if you're interested, maybe we could meet up in Western China / Mongolia / Tibet / etc. and come back to the Med. I would want to swing down through Iran since we missed it the last time we were in the region.

Lots! The more places you go, the more realize how much is out there! We've only been to 38 countries, so there are many more places yet to discover out there. Major gaps in our resumes are South America, Antarctica and SE Asia, which is where we're headed in a few weeks.

BTW, I really like your sig with suggested listening and reading topics.

Apparently that second sign is a very legit warning. Hitchcock has nothing on these birds.....

thanks a lot for sharing, seriously!

[Ursidae69]

The first one isn't a road sign, but still an interesting sign.

The second one is from Mexico, more topes.

The third one is in Heber AZ and it annoys me every time I see it.

The fourth one is in Tecate Mexico.

[BajaTaco]

Great thread!

From Thailand, I think this is a "be quiet" sign, but I laughed thinking it would be a great one to admonish those with bad breath...

[flywgn]

What a kick! I'm getting caught up Post Dakar. :)

BT, maybe that sign in Thailand had to do with peppers. :) :)

I've always loved the signs describing the impending disaster that awaits the unsuspectiing motorist/pedestrian, especially the car tipping off the dock or end of the road.

Below is a couple of my contributions.

[TeleScooby]

Some of these are hysterical! And great reasons to use trustworthy translators...


I really wish I had a picture of this, I'll try to get one...it's in a town in the Cascade foothills east of here:

Picture a nursing home on one side of the street with a crosswalk in front. The sigh says 'caution' and pictures two elderly folks crossing with walkers...on the other side of the street is a cemetery.

[94-RUNNER]

In the middle of no where in the North Maine Woods

[elcoyote]

Saw this sign south of Mullege on Mex 1 in Baja a few years ago...a few sage words for those in a hurry on this dangerous section of road basically translates to: "Better late than never".

[RoundOut]

At approximately 36*33'33" N and 105*2'59" W, on Highway 64, just west of Cimmaron, NM, viewable from the eastbound lane. Some vandals embellished this sign for greater impact, but it struck us as pretty funny at highway speed. We had to get a picture of it for this forum.

[IntrepidXJ]

not really a 'road sign' (well, it was along the road) but something i had to get a picture of.

A couple of popular signs in Colorado:

Not sure why this one always gives me a chuckle - I think it's the hat.

And of course this one:

[RoundOut]

Here's one on Hwy 36 between Fort Hood and Abilene, TX. I cannot recall exactly where it is, but a funny story accompanies it.

We were going to a relative's wedding in Abilene and did a double-take. We turned around and got some pictures of it. Just for the record, the bull in the picture was pissed that we were standing so close to his pasture.

Later that summer, we took some customers on a boondoggle to Vermejo Park Ranch near Raton, NM. The fly fishing is amazing there. Everyone caught fish, so we came up with some gags to pass out at dinner our last night.

I had framed up a photo of this marquis just for this purpose, LOL. "So for our catcher of the smallest fish, next year, instead of Vermejo, we're sending you on an all-expense-paid vacation to the Deep Bleep Cattle Company!"

Everyone was amazed at the photo, that someone really named their ranch that way.

[Grim Reaper]

This place is between Sopchoppy and The Dog Island Ferry in Florida.

Its Hell because the Mosquitoes have Tattoos and they run in Packs. 3-4 hold you down while the other stick ya.

Here is the official story.


The Legend of TATE'S HELL...
A tale that has been told for many years recounts how Tate's Hell Swamp got its name. Local legend has it that a farmer by the name of Cebe Tate, armed with only a shotgun and accompanied by his hunting dogs, journeyed into the swamp in search of a panther that was killing his livestock. Although there are several versions of this story, the most common describes Tate as being lost in the swamp for seven days and nights, bitten by a snake, and drinking from the murky waters to curb his thirst. Finally he came to a clearing near Carrabelle, living only long enough to murmur the words, "My name is Cebe Tate, and I just came from Hell!" Cebe Tate's adventure took place in 1875 and ever since, the area has been known as Tate's Hell, the legendary and forbidden swamp.
Couple other funny signs I have been collecting off the net.

How 'bout one I wish I had gotten a picture of?

Back in the early '80s there was a sign in front of the Osan AB, Korea, hospital that said:

"<== Stairway to Emergency Room"


Glad I never had an ambulatory-related emergency...

[Lynn]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/jdtrotter/Baja%202007/JesusMaria4Custom.jpg

That sign really begs a fill-in-the-blank thread!

Reminds me of a sign I once saw in an office, "Our complaint manager is Ms. Helen Waite. If you have a complaint, please go to Helen Waite."

[BogusBlake]

I wonder, does sacred white buffalo jerky taste any different than regular old brown buffalo jerky?

[Lynn]

I wonder, does sacred white buffalo jerky taste any different than regular old brown buffalo jerky?

One thing I think is involved is a cermonial cleaning off all the tools and processing equipment before a run of sacred jerky.


I'm easily entertained, but I always get a kick out of the 'FRESH JERKY!' signs.

Oh, and the guy that used to set up on the corner in Colorado Springs selling 'FRESH SEAFOOD!'

[Desertdude]

The real kicker is that they advertise, and have on the premisses, "sacred white buffalo" which they charge a fee to view.

They also sell buffalo jerky - how fresh or sacred, I could not tell you ;)

[grouch]

This sign scared me a little.

[nwoods]

I can't find my photo of it, but at the top of Nevada Falls in Yosemite, there is a sign that says something like:


"Do not play in the water.
If you slip, you will go
over the waterfall
and die."

[adventureduo]

I just saw this today..... makes no sense. Watch out for teetor totters? lol

There wasn't a park, school or kids anywhere nearby.

Why would anyone want to announce that their offspring is a little challenged?

That is definitely a great sign. I saw mine at Chiracahua National Monument on the AZ/NM border.

ROFLMAO!!!!! I drive by there almost once a month....... Gotta love Wyoming!

[Shovel]

Took this yesterday in my neighborhood. It's been this way for months and still makes me laugh everytime I see it.

There's one in North Hollywood that has a proper, die-cut sticker under STOP that says "Collaborate & Listen" ;)

Whatever a "Centroid" facility is... it must be kinda important because I stopped to take this photo & didn't see any vehicles anywhere, walked around the front of my vehicle to let some liquid out, and when I came back around to take the picture there was a MP truck parked a couple hundred feet behind me. I'm assuming he came from the dirt road, but I sure didn't see him as I drove up.

Anyway I took the pic and left.. he didn't pursue me so I guess all's well. :D

Whatever a "Centroid" facility is... it must be kinda important...

In geometry, the centroid or barycenter of an object X in n-dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane. Informally, it is the "average" of all points of X.

What ever in the HELL that means, thats what a centroid is. Got that from Wikipedia.

I dont have any clever pictures but here are two signs that always make me take a deep breath and relax when I see them. And a shot of what lays between the two signs.

13742I saw this sign (well worn) on my way past Patricia Crow in northern ontario in 2003 on my "Ride to the end of the road". It read "no fuel or accomodation past this point".The road (gravel) was over 220km (160 miles) to the end and then you could only turn around and come back.

Thats the old OC Contras sign. My guess is it was on the Lippencott sign?

"OC Contras"?

[kellymoe]

"OC Contras"?

Hmm... How can I explain? I was never a part of the group but from my understanding it was a small group of Land Rover owners who used their trucks the way God intended them to be used. It was what a Land Rover club should be, until it gets too big and political.

Thought these were pretty cool. All along the fence of the PennDOT maintainance building in Meadville, PA on Rte 322 are a whole mural of road signs depicting everything from a rural road, county fair, and lake shore to these gaint flowers. If you pass this way slow down and check them out, Pretty cool stuff.

Hey Rallyroo, You are right. It is on Hwy 14 going towards the junction of Hwy 395. And "Huge tracks of land" is right! Every time I have passed by it always seems busy. They must have "ample" portions of food or something. Mark

That would be a fun speed hump to jump, but what's funny is that it was actually pretty small.

Just having a few acres, I know the upkeep can cause aches and pains. Apparently lots of acres hurts even more.

For some reason, I can't view that pic, Gary. It says notify administrator. Sorry, but I didn't take the time to do that...

Not my picture, but has to be one of my favorite road signs of all time. I THINK it is in the Mojave somewhere.
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j131/Midknightc3/Absolutely_nothing.jpg

Thats the sign you pass as you drive down the ONLY road that accesses Ft. Irwin outside of Barstow, Ca. Its where the Army does all of its desert warfare training. Pretty cool place. Funny story: the Army used to send the base canoes and paddle boats every year because on the map there are lakes and rivers. They didnt stop to consider that the base is in the middle of the desert and the water is underground.

One of my favorites. In a small town where all the old sit around and watch traffic on the eastern shores in Va. Look for the sign on the fence:
