One of those "Why wasn't my camera ready?" moments happened last month. Driving U.S. 26-89 in Wyoming along the Snake River south of Grand Teton National Park. I didn't notice until I was almost past it, but a standard pictorial deer crossing sign (with the deer's front legs raised) had added to it the cowboy who usually rides the bronco on Wyoming license plates, waving his hat. It was so well done I wonder if it wasn't done at the sign shop.

Somebody around my area added a set of wings to a dear crossing sign.  And I have to admit, the deer here do seem like they are flying. lol.

Wish I had a picture of the "STOP BUSH" stop sign in my neighborhood before it was cleaned up (this was around 2007).
The stop sign near my house at the time read "STOP CARTER."  Same unimaginative political hacks, year after years.

Back in 1973, every stop sign in Berkeley said "Stop Nixon".

Two questions:

(1) Why is that sign so special to you?
(2) Do people really only add wings to that one sign?

Once you get out of Cambridge, pretty much everyone spells it "Po-op."

in Rome, the discharge of one particular individual is "poope".

Well, at least on I-495 in Massachusetts, discharging of passengers is not allowed. Not sure if discharging non-passengers is allowed.




I am still waiting for these to happen:

Route 60 becoming Speed Limit 60.
Unofficial change that makes the signs more accurate.
Putting buttons on a shield to make it button copy.
Putting The Beatles on a crosswalk sign because of Abbey Road.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Well, the deer hear have their fawns on our property every year.  Hence, we've nicknamed our place as the nursery.

And yes, this is the only sign somebody added it to.  Seems to be a sticker added on.  I have a picture on my memory card, just have to remember to take it off and get it post it.

"Dear crossing."

You know, like the old joke. Teacher wants the children to learn about wildlife, so she shows them pictures. They recognize the dog, the cat, the horse, and the elephant. But one baffles them.

"Come on, children. Its not too hard. What does your mother call your father when he kisses her?"

Suddenly Little Johnny in the back jumps up yelling. "I know, I know! That's a horny bastard!"

They've since been replaced with new signs, but for a long time most of the deer crossing signs on I-93 in the Wilmington (MA) and Andover (MA) area sported large red noses a la Rudolph.  Many years ago, there was also the moose crossing sign on I-190 SB in Sterling (MA) that somebody added the outline of a squirrel to (the altered sign made the front page of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette)

I once encountered a Speed Limit 35 sign on a narrow township road that someone had very neatly and carefully changed to "85" with black paint.

I've see red-nosed deer crossing signs in many parts of southeastern PA as well; PA 352 between PA 926 & 452 being one of several examples.

When "area speed limit 30" signs were installed in my neighborhood in upstate New York three decades ago, the "3" was often sprayed into an "8."  During the time of the Vietnam War, stop signs were often vandalized with "war."
