^^ That one deserves a "NO SHIT!" sign underneath the triangle.

I'm glad this thread got necro'd, because I have a few more.


Free kids. Someone call the FBI...


No idea why I found this funny. Maybe the fact that SR 666 has something associated with fire on it. IIRC, that isn't a state facility anymore.


Apparently you don't have to know how to spell to work for a strip club.

The last one's a two-parter:

So it's a welcome sign for the A.D. Williams Clinic in Richmond. Big deal. Well...


...I hope you can jump really high!

Despite not having a picture of it, I find Isle of Wight County's SR-666 funnier. It's a short connector between VA-10 and the Smithfield meat packing plant!

This is sort of both an oddity and an error.  Here the sign for SR 616 is pointing towards a field east of VA 156 instead of pointing the right direction west of VA 156(and after a secret multiplex with VA 156 right down the road SR 616 actually does go east of VA 156 with all arrows pointing in the right direction).  I thought VDOT would have fixed it awhile ago being near a high school but it was still like this as of Tuesday.

They're in an island and the stop bar faded.

There's a small median there below the stop sign.  I just didn't get that in the picture.

Major thread bump, but since there's already a "Funny Signs" thread, I didn't want to start a new one.

Notice the street sign above the yield sign. It's actually named for a World War II flying ace, Major Richard Bong, but it's quite understandable why anyone would do a double-take when seeing it (as I did–I learned of the name's origin when we were touring the museum and saw his name mentioned).

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Here are some from my cell phone...

"Unloading" . . get it?


Jimmy John's is just full of funny signs.


Apparently this file is corrupted, so I don't have a higher resolution available.  The small sign says "Convertible waitresses".  Gotta love the movie Cars!

This one is just best taken out of context:

Funny you should mention that, NE2. The sign pictured reads Bay Dr!

EDIT: Not exactly a road sign, but the new bicycle lane markings CSU has been installing are rather humorous.

In Biscayne Park, Florida, when they say 'Speed Limit 25', they mean 'Speed Limit 25'...

Rule 37. There is no 'overkill'. There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload'.

At least even the italicized text is still Highway Gothic. :P

I'm not sure if I want the chocolate soft-serve anymore.  :-D

Not many do as the sign indicates they have only 1 customer.

An anti-sue sign next to a toaster:

"Toaster might be hot! Do not put fingers or objects in the toaster"

I wondered whether I was being warned not to put my bagel in there - it is an object after all.

I believe the bridge being out is more important than the sharp edges of the sign.  It doesn't even look sharp since the edges are round.
