Default Dumb Traffic Signs

I was downtown (it's under major construction) yesterday and saw this sign. I have never seen one like it before.
Apparently, it is telling me to go around and around and ........ :D
Does anyone have pics of weird traffic signs from their areas?

The UK seems to have an obsession with roundabouts. They are everywhere. And to make matters worse, now many of them have traffic lights on them as well.

Could do with a few more signs like this one though

Yep, they're roundabout mad over here as well.

Then there are the weird signs. ...."To the Bat-cave, Robin!"

I think that one's a pretty funny sign even without the "how do the deer know?" point...
I imagine it sounds like "Deer ZING!"


Here's possibly the best one I've seen to date...

As spotted by me and a friend in either Belgium or the Netherlands.
To quote the caption he gave it...
"Dutch [or Belgian] women drink so much beer they get their own parking spots."

Unlike many on here - no photo doctoring at all. :D

Bat Cave is for real its near Asheville, North Carolina, and a really great area to visit this time of year. The views are spectacular in the Southern Appalachians

Cool Re: Dumb Traffic Signs

Didn't have a camera, but nearly wet myself on the day when I saw a sign in the tube station (in Swedish, but the translation works just as well) saying

Quote:
Escalator out of order. We are changing devastated parts
Someone sent these to me a very long time ago, apparently this is a real place, glad I don't live near that! :D

Great pictures everyone.
@Solange that is a scary intersection. What happens if someone has dyslexia and drives the wrong way around the circles?

That roundabout (or collection of roundabouts) is located in Swindon Solange.

(you really don't want to go there)

Those roundabouts look terrible. Has the potential to give me nightmares - I hope I never end up on it. Though in a silly moment I'd almost be tempted to have a go just to see.


BILLMCC66 - since when was Clinton a sex offender? I mean, I know he committed perjury - and had an affair - but sex offence? Still - a rather bizarre sign either way.

Some people have a sick sense of humour... That's one of those ones you'd wonder whether it was real or not - I'd be inclined to think it might be though.
