Closest I could come to a French hen was a roadsign in French (at Lafayette, LA)

Maybe a little closer to "French hen" (see the out-of-focus distance sign):



Not exactly intended to be "French", though. Local legend says the original plan was to name the town for the local Alaskan game bird, only nobody in the town knew how to spell "ptarmigan", so they went with "Chicken" as their plan B.

This is from the bad ol' days when I was still using a Nexus 4 for the majority of my photos, so it's blurred and nearly unreadable, but here's my 10 Lords-A-Leaping (Lord Fairfax Hwy):

That's amazing, both Chicken and Eagle on the same distance sign.

Well, it's nearly 8 PM (Central Time) on December the 8th... hopefully it's not too late to suggest a challenge. 

January 8th Challenge: An exit that is on the opposite side of the road.

Let me know if this has been done already.

By "opposite side of the road", did you just mean exits on the left where they're normally expected to be on the right? Or did you mean, as in your example, that the exit sign is on the opposite side from where the exit itself diverges?

Just curious, really, as it's pretty much moot now. :-)

Basically exits that are on the left side when they're normally on the right. Vice versa for countries that drive on the left side of the road. The exit sign is optional, I just wanted it to look clear enough that the exit was on the left side.

January 10, 2018:  Post pictures of guide signs containing multiple names, wherein the all letters of one name appear within another name.

In this example A, L, T, O, and N appear in the name "CARROLLTON"

(an easy way to satisfy this challenge would be to find a sign containing a city and its knockoff, like the pair "Warwick" and "West Warwick" for example)

I assume this is acceptable; it's not like it's North Derry or Derry Center. (Londonderry, NH is a separate town from Derry, NH, unlike the one in Northern Ireland.)
