Most Ridiculous Sign Award

I tried searching for threads on this topic and a cursory search did not turn up anything.

I drive past this one several times per week: "Man with one arm longer than the other ahead".

What is that supposed to denote?

What is that supposed to denote?

That's a darned good question. The park is home to the largest live oak tree in Florida. So i assume that it is supposed to represent a tree??? If so, why not just have a drawing of a ****ing TREE?

Like I said in the subject line..."RIDICULOUS"!

They're advertising that Stretch Armstrong is there.

Corn Maze Ahead?

I believe that is an old 70's-era symbol for Interpretive Programs/Visitor Center that the NPS and many state parks used.  It is no longer current spec having been replaced by the more familiar "ranger next to little building with flag" symbol.

Bollocks. "Man with bendy arm ahead".

I think you're half right. But the building with a little flag and a ranger standing next to it denotes a "Ranger Station", which could just be a shack in the woods, and certainly doesn't have to be a Visitors Center with cool exhibits and where the rangers give scheduled talks, or whatever the heck Interpretive Programs exactly are.

That said, I looked at the NPS list of symbols, and I can't figure out what the correct modern equivalent would be, so maybe I should just shush.

"Interpretive dance ahead"

Indiana Jones with bullwhip?

That's a RG-060 Environmental Study Area sign. See page 3-110 (PDF page 112) of the 2004 Standard Highway Signs: http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/SHSe/Guide.pdf

The cultural interest area signs got completely reworked and renumbered with the 2009 MUTCD and it no longer references this sign so don't expect to see it much in the future.
