TopTrips: Wacky Road Signs

falling-rocks-smAs frequent travelers, we've seen some pretty crazy signs along the way. This one to the right (seen on the way up to Maui's Haleakala summit) is by far my favorite even though it's been altered from the original.

Check out some of the other wacky road signs TopTrips fans have seen on their travels.

There is a sign for a medical school in Georgia called Paine College.

A dead end sign on Cemetery Street.

I went to Forks, WA and found a birdhouse next to the "Welcome to Forks Sign" stating it was taking donations to stop needless hunting so Edward could feed.

Out in front of a cemetery there was a "One Way" sign -- pointing in.

When I was in New York, I saw a sign that said "Dogs Can Pee Here."

I grew up in New Mexico by the Navajo reservation there use to be signs like the yellow pedestrian signs but the pedestrian had a bottle in his hand. They have taken them down it's no longer PC.

Driving through the tunnels in Italy, there is a sign that depicts a stick figure type man running away from fire through an exit door that leads out to a cliff! I now know that there are safe rooms hidden back there but it was too funny the first time! Do you want to burn, or jump? I think I'd jump.

As a teenager in the 70s, driving through NC on the interstate highway there was a billboard that said "The KKK welcomes you to Granville County."

In Kelowna, British Columbia, there was a billboard ad for men's underwear that had a picture of a guy in his underwear that stated "Comfort for your balls!"

The classic "Road May Be Wet During Rain" sign.

A welcome sign on a front gate and right under it said "Keep Out."

"Used Cows for Sale"

"Deer Everywhere"

Many years ago, at the Alabama Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, there was a HUGE sign in the campground that said "PLEASE DO NOT FEED OR MOLEST THE ALLIGATORS!"

A sign in North Carolina that said "No Swimming" -- and underneath that, "Don't Feed the Alligators."

After Hurricane Charley came thru the Fort Myers, FL, area, the Shell Factory sign turned into the "Hell Factory."

In New Hampshire there is a sign that says "Anyone under 18 must wear a seatbelt." It's followed immediately by a sign entering Maine that says, "Buckle Up -- No Excuses."

In Jamaica there was a sign that said "Keep Fatalities Down - Drive, Ride, and Walk Good."

"Frank's Deer Urine" on the front of a barn. Saw it on drive from Ohio to WVA - I insisted we take the same route home so we could stop to take picture.

I saw a sign in Arizona that said, "Venomous Snakes Frequent the Area"; so I left the area.

I saw a sign that said "Stay safe, drink...." It previously had a "Coca cola" sign attached, but it had been removed.
