"Guardrail Damage Ahead"
is that to help you plan to crash your car into only undamaged ones, I wonder? |

It's in Kentucky. And, as if it wasn't enough, it's right by Beaver Lick park. "Egos drone and pose alone, Like black balloons, all banged and blown On a backwards river, infidels shiver In the stench of belief And tell my mama I'm a hundred years late I'm over the rails and out of the race The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw ringing in my ears" -Beck

Bong Recreation Center in southern Wisconsin is another good one.

Here's a couple that I took pictures of, on the road between Christchurch and Dunedin (NZ). Sorry, they're quite big..
Look carefully at that raccoon...

There's a tire store, named Town Fair Tire, near where I live. A few years back, both of the Is burned out, and remained out for quite some time. So, for the next few months, the name of the store was apparently Town Fartre, or, if you take away the pseudo-British spelling, Town Farter. It was oddly amusing.

I live in NorthWest Florida...
After Hurricane Ivan several people put up funny signs (spray painted on scraps of wood, usu.) One I remember said: "Landscaping by Ivan" Another, in a pile of blown-over, cut-up pine trees was a sign that read: "Free Log Cabin Kit" I thought that was purty imaginative and funny...esp. given the circumstances at the time. --TheLit

Scaryfish,
That roadsign is killing me. That's one of the most complicated symbols I've ever seen...and it looks like their saying "Caution: drive 65 mph." What's the speed limit on a straight, unobstacled road there? This message has been edited by TheLiteralist, 02-10-2005 01:13 AM

At Hardee's (much like McDonald's but not as well-known), where I work, coffee cups (in light of certain litigations) say: "Caution: Coffee Served Hot."

Why everyone knows Hardee's. I'm drinking out of a 'Rise and Shine cup as we speak. Damn fine biscuits too. Too bad there are no Hardee's down here.

For some reason this one sticks in my mind; from central Pennsylvania:
parking forCRANK IN REAR It was for a bicycle shop called "CRANK", but for some reason the shop decided to put "parking for" in small print and "crank in rear" in huge block letters.

Well, I guess it's not as ubiquitous as McDonalds, then (although some people don't seem to know what I mean when I say "Hardee's" so I always clarify it somehow).
My Hardee's makes the BEST biscuits (at least on Fridays and Saturdays...which just happens to be the days I roll...).

65 kms per hour might be a better speed for that road. (that's be about 40 mph)
You realize that only the US (I think) is left using the old clumsy imperial british system of weights and measures?

LOL...okay that's better...but it's funnier with mph.

Yeah, Ned's right, it's km/h. The speed limit on open road down here is 100 km/h (about 62 miles/h).
Oh, and I should point out that the vertical line with crosses is a railway line, crossing the road. This message has been edited by Scaryfish, 02-10-2005 02:38 AM

Hi Scaryfish,
Well, I knew it was a railroad intersecting a highway, but I've never seen a symbol quite like that before. It's rather detailed for a road symbol. It appears to mean, "Up ahead this road curves wildly and is fed into by several lesser roads while being crossed by a railway. You ought to slow down when navigating this mess; we strongly recommend 65 kmh as a fairly safe speed." I'm sure it fairly represents the situation, which is what a road symbol should do. It just tickled me...esp. when I thot that it was 65 mph. --TheLit
