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.

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:
