Nice Engrish there

The Exit 192 one has to have been a photoshopped one.

Yeah... That one's definitely photoshopped. Wrong font.

They're all still hilarious though!

There's one on I-90 west past Dunkirk, NY that says "Correctional Facility Ahead; Do not pick up hitchhikers".

Here is one I took in Lake George Village, New York:

Didn't show? http://s305.photobucket.com/albums/nn224/tctkid/Funny%20Signs/?action=view&current=DSC00624.jpg

And here in Concord, New Hampshire. Though this is a common thing, it looks neat and looks like it says that there isnt a Main Street.

Yeah, quite common:


I seem to recall there being a sign that said both "White Plains" and "No White Plains", but my picture record appears to refute that...

Also:

Exit for sale!

Now, completely different part of the country....

Kind of redundant naming there, no? That means "Table Table Drive"

And last but not least...

Faileure in street naming.

In Punta Gorda FL, heading south along Taylor Ave, near where you cross the train tracks, there's a sign at the end of a sidewalk reading "CAUTION SIDEWALK ENDS HERE".  I can't find the picture I took of it though.  :-(

Sad thing is that was a real sign - and another was hacked near St. Louis.

Plus one warned of raptors ahead somewhere (I forget where) also (hacked)

Didn't the same guy rig a portable VMS to read something in Klingon?

You trying to misquote me? :-P

EDIT: Seems there's a bug in the software where it doesn't put the last closing quote tag  :crazy:

Great thread!  :-D  I believe the pictured "Trucks that hit this" overhead is the one located at the I-24/US-72 interchange (Exit #152) in Kimball, TN.  I get a kick out of it every time I see it.
