I took this picture nearly six years ago approaching the US 17 Blue Bridge between Florida and Georgia;

And while the first warning sign before the bridge is easy to recognize, I forgot to get a shot of the next one, and for years I was always puzzled about what the message was. Today it dawned on me that one of the obvious solutions might be to look it up on Google Street View. And wouldn't you know it. It's a pre-1971 Slippery When Wet warning sign, with a "400 Feet" supplemental sign underneath.

Reminds me of when "Do Not Enter" signs in Wisconsin had the corners cut so they were octagon-shaped.

They still have those in Madison, typically on the other side of stop signs.

BUSTED!!!


Saw that funny (but mildly infuriating) instance yesterday on I-45 south of Dallas. As for the sign, don't forget about its dyslexic brother to the south...

That means there isn't any truck lane remaining up ahead.

I read it as there are to be no trucks to be seen ahead...And that at least one travel lane picked itself up off the freeway and went home. :bigass:
