Comments on Sunday 30 December 2001:
It's a reprise of my old friend the Entertaining To Misunderstand Road Signs. I'm not sure whether I mentioned my particular favourite "Speed Limit Enforced By Aircraft", but today's amusement stems from another feature of roadsigns - their lack of punctuation. This leaves a lot of scope for misunderstanding by inserting punctuation where you see fit, the particular examples that I spotted recently being "Emergency! Pull Off 1400 Feet." and "Notice No Right Shoulder". Endless hours of fun for easily amused passengers. [06:32]

much like my favorite, Slow Children Ahead... why can't i ever live next to smart kids...

Kevan
I still enjoy "Please Do Not Obstruct Day Or Night", and try never to.

Caution: Children at play. Does this mean they're digging up the road or something?

JD
My fav: "No passing zones unmarked."

None of the passing zones are unmarked? Great!

All of the passing zones are unmarked? Shit!

PiJ
Slow Village Ahead is another fun one from Massachusetts. What does this say about local education?

Austin
I recently saw a sign that read

DIP
300FT

but woudnt a 300ft dip more correctly be called a canyon

or

STOP
AHEAD

I've never seen a lone head let alone a moving one

Favourite from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada: "Osoyoos use both lanes."
...as opposed to either lane.
