Weird Road Signs
 
So I know we have all seen them, those road signs so bizarre or intriguing we have almost gotten into an accident trying to get a second look. So i figured people could tell stories about the signs they have encountered or post pictures. I'll start. . . .

Driving home tonight on I-95 i drive past a small sign that read "Correctional Facility Area. . . . DO NOT STOP!!!.....

I want do bad to stop but it was almost one am and that seem like not such a smart decision but ill try to get a pic in the future.

I grew up in San Diego, and the closer you get to the border towns/areas, you see alot of these:

I find it odd because I wouldn't think that most people need a sign to tell them they might need to stop if a family of 3 runs into the road.

Is that supposed to imply where my mind is going???? i wont state it exactly due to possible controversy but yea. . . .

It warns motorists to watch for immigrants who might attempt to cross the freeway (which is quite dangerous).

When I go to visit and bring people from Ohio with me they have no clue what that means.

I saw this one taking a Sunday drive around the rural area of Heidelberg this past Sunday. I'll have to move, because I'm scared of mutant frogs:

There's one on 395 near a correctional facility that says DON'T PICK UP HITCHHIKERS.

ETA: It is in Eastern Washington, north of Tri-Cities.

I wouldn't normally, but near a prison, I'm even less likely.

I'm going to guess it's by the state penn. in Walla Walla? Yes, if you see the Green River Killer hitching, please do not give him a ride.

This is one of my favorites that are posted in a couple places close to where I live:

When you drive through the Siskiyou Mountains in southern Oregon/northern California, you pass through the town of Weed:

While driving through Colorado last summer and approaching Denver, DolphinChicaDDD and I saw tons of those "CORRECTIONAL FACILITY AHEAD - Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers" signs.

Anyway, here's my contribution:

I love the deer crossing signs, where people put a red dot on the deer's nose so it looks like Rudolph!

Nope, north of Tri Cities on the way to Spokane, closer to Connell.

This is on a dog walk trail, but still a good one:

and please don't over the rhinocerous crossing the road:

And this sign encourages kids to not skate in the immediate area, but instead, to take their skateboards & noise to the nearby skatepark at Parkgate, so that everyone is happy:

There's a flashing orange light on campus and someone put a few pieces of black electrical tape to make it into a smiley face. I think it looks like a jack-o-lantern. It makes me smile every time I see it.

Ugh...I have a great one..but I can't figure out how to get it up here...

It won't show up from either my myspace or my facebook.

Can some one tell me what I am not doing right?

nittanyalum 05-15-2008 02:18 PM

In Pennsylvania, we have the highway signs that say "Speed enforced by aircraft". While in New Jersey, they just have "Speed enforced by patrol car". Hahaha!! :p

I thought it was weird that Philly felt the need to warn people of seesaws

I had to stop and take a pic back in the day when I visited my big in Detroit. I couldn't resist a pic with an I-69 sign...

Honeykiss1974 06-09-2008 10:09 AM

This isn't a road sign perse but....

Since its springtime in Kansas, we have tons of thunderstorms and tornados. Last Thursday, our building safety team sent out an email warning us about the threat of tornados for that day and it had this pic attached to it:

Seriously, if there had been a tornado, we would have all died because this pic had us ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!?!?! Who thought of this?? LOLOLOL

Right outside of Cincy there is a Kentucky State Park called "Big Bone Lick". I can't find a picture of the road sign, but it is off of I-75 near Florence. I crack up every time I pass it.

YES!! I remember that sign! I use to live in Frankfort and remember that sign on my drive to Cincy.

It still fills my head with dirty thoughts to this day. LOL :p
