What does this sign mean?

GaryV · August 07, 2026, 09:57:40 AM

Sopranos, tenors and basses need not apply

Max Rockatansky · August 07, 2026, 10:54:29 AM

Wasn't that Mario Andretti's brother?

Big John · August 07, 2026, 11:00:16 AM

Al is about to do something.

Lo siento, no sé que quiere decir esta cosa roja

(from HS Spanish, without checking; what did I get wrong?)

Charlie Parker's house ahead.

kphoger · August 07, 2026, 11:35:52 AM

Sorry, I don't know what this red thing is trying to say.

Looks like pretty good Spanish to me, but it isn't an answer.

Former Vice President Gore is going to give a statement, but we don't know what he's going to say, so stand here to find out.

kphoger · August 07, 2026, 11:48:10 AM

It's a standard sign in Mexico and Central America, and it means, —Tall vehicles must stop.

People stole the 420 shields so we used this instead.

That sign was in the short-lived 1970 edition of the MUCTD because it was misspelled; the message was supposed say "ALOT", to warn people and motorists of the presence of alot crossing, alot of meandering, or perhaps an alot which had just finished swimming.

The 1971 edition mandated a yellow diamond sign with a pictograph, which prevented spelling and grammatical errors.

Based on the color and word choices, it's obviously meant to be the opposite of this sign.

TheCatalyst31 · August 08, 2026, 12:02:55 AM

"Pare" en español quebequense.

What makes Beulah, Wyoming the best control city on I-90?

jlam · August 08, 2026, 12:49:36 AM

Much like Limon and I-70/US 287/US 24, Beulah is located at the major junction between I-90, Crook County Road 129, and Crook County Road 142, making it an important hub for drivers heading in all directions. And with a population of 33, Beulah is probably the largest city in Wyoming. So why leave it off the signs?

xonhulu · August 08, 2026, 01:52:01 AM

We're all kind of homesick, for a country
To which we've never seen before
No sad goodbyes, would there be spoken
'Cause time won't matter anymore

Beulah Land, we're longin' for you
And someday, on thee we'll stand
And there our home, shall be eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah land

pderocco · August 08, 2026, 01:52:41 AM

Alternate route zero.

LilianaUwU · August 08, 2026, 01:58:21 AM

It's a stop sign but it only applies if you're from Palo Alto.

Big John · August 08, 2026, 02:34:59 AM

That is where the dart landed when throwing it at the map.

pderocco · August 08, 2026, 02:50:21 AM

Well, it's obviously the best for people in Spearfish SD. Where else would they go?

MikeTheActuary · August 08, 2026, 07:17:36 AM

Trick question. Everyone knows that Albert Lea, MN is the best control city on I-90.

kphoger · August 08, 2026, 09:17:40 AM

You win.

Sapphuby · August 09, 2026, 02:10:37 AM

Cirros and nimbos can cross no problem.

1995hoo · August 09, 2026, 12:45:21 PM

It makes those of us of a certain age smile because we are aware that Mrs. Balbricker's first name was Beulah, and that in turn reminds us of the "tallywacker" scene:
