8 funny road signs worth slowing down

We know you're a good driver, you pay attention, slow down when pedestrian cross, and come to a complete stop stop sign. You have to read all the signs and signs around you to be a careful and conscious driver. So what happens when the road signs are so ridiculous that they force you to do a double command?

  • Vague or conflicting road instructions may create amusement but could also cause hesitation or mistakes from drivers.

The signs and mentions below look too funny to be real. Some of them are so confusing, that even driving instructors can't understand them! Although driving can be tedious at times, it won't be when you have surprising reading material to break the monotony. Just make sure you keep your eyes on the road while you laugh!

Slow down, there's a snail, speed racer!

Maybe it's a spiral crossing, or more likely it's an innovative way to ask drivers to slow down in this area. Slowing down to the speed of a snail may seem overkill, but snails seem less nervous than the driver at rush hour. At the end of the day, maybe there's something in our lifestyle that makes us hurry!

Mixed messages

When you're driving in search of a place to park, the last thing you want is a confusing traffic light. Sometimes a typo can confuse things, but that mistake is funny enough to risk a ticket.

All about punctuation

This is another example of grammar that potentially saves lives. Are these instructions for motorists to drive slowly as children approach? Or is it a reminder to the children themselves? Or is it a description of the speed of children in the area? Regardless of all this, it's a traffic light with strange punctuation that can take some work to understand.

Drive the bike carefully

When you are driving a car, this signal may not be alarming. However, on a bike, it seems that this signal may slow you down. Is this an instruction to monitor competing cyclists? Or is it an invitation to a dangerous game of chickens (in which two drivers walk towards each other and whoever changes his way first is called a chicken with cheese)?

Change the route

Road closures always make your road a bit difficult, but this signal sounds a bit exciting. Your lifestyle may technically be as comfortable and instinctive as your road commute, or change may be required. It can represent a new opportunity or a terrible delay, but let's hope there are at least some shortcuts to explore.

The only type that exists

This signal ("hellish transport" instead of "international transport", due to the omission of a section of a letter) can be a breath of fresh air if it catches your eye during your slow motion in a suffocating traffic jam where cars are attached during classic traffic. At the time, it may seem that there is no longer a boring place in the world. On the bright side, this signal may break the monotony and bring a smile to your face. Have you ever wondered why the shapes of street signs are different? The answer may surprise you.

It's hard not to think about it now!

No one likes to be told what to do or what to think. Or, more precisely, what should not be thought about. Odds are that this is a prime parking space. They made the mistake of making it more tempting by making it prohibited. I will park my car here even if I don't think about stopping!

One-way street

There is something poetic about the road that seems to never end towards the future. This sign is very accurate, but a bit laborious. Are you ready to take this mysterious path that you have never taken before? Who knows how far it will take you! Next, take a look at these funny job postings that definitely shouldn't be posted.
