Unique, Odd, or Interesting Signs aka The good, the bad, and the ugly

[CoreySamson]

From Prague, this was posted by humorist Dave Barry on his blog today.  I assume it's some sort of caution, but can anyone elaborate?  Ignore the stickers, obviously.

BEWARE OF HOUSES PLAYING HOCKEY WITH CARS FOR A PUCK!!!

Interesting last exit sign before a toll road.

Would've been better if they placed an arrow pointing right on the warning part.

On PA 73 WB, we get an arrow on a township sign (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220408660087080&set=a.10220408838571542)



Further west on PA 73 WB at Middle Creek Rd in Gilbertsville. (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220408704448189&set=a.10220408838571542)

Parade of signs in Frankfort, MI:

Amused by this one that the school zone sign is almost immediately negated by a regular speed limit, before any school crosswalks appear (the reason for the school zone to begin with). The regular speed limit should be before the school zone and/or at the end of the school zone.

One way street, but with MANY extra steps, in Los Molares, Sevilla. (GSV link)

^ when in Sevilla, do as the traffic does.

"Restricted Area" for the Port of Illinois Indiana:



* reading is fundamental, especially when looking at your own photo

"Restricted Area" for the Port of Illinois:

(emphasis mine)

Looks more like the Port of Indiana to me.

Spellcheck went flat on me.

Looks like NJ 71 here turns left, but in reality is a confirmation shield with a Garden State Parkway shield directing motorists towards the left. 

There needs to be a straight arrow for NB NJ 71.

[freebrickproductions]

Or at least just put the confirmation shield a bit further back.

This sign S1 is odd cause only the contractor who placed it probably only understands its meaning.

On PA 144 SB looking south of PA 120 (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220425489067794&set=a.10220425601670609)

These are intersection reference markers.  Oklahoma seems to mark one sign assembly at many primary route junctions.

This guide sign is very odd, especially in Alabama that like to use large width shield assemblies.

On PA 49 WB in Ulysses (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220425570189822&set=a.10220425601670609)

They've been doing signage like that a bit more often to replace the salads that dot the state. Don't think I've seen too many stacked examples like that though.

There are quite a few of these signs on NY 248 west of Canisteo.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220425586350226&set=a.10220425601670609)
