Funny Canadian Road signs.

June 13, 2009 · 2 Comments

Took pictures of these Canadian road signs that made us laugh – or at least notice them from the clutter of driving advice.

This post is dedicated to our dear friend Schoene Mahmood. Who, in addition to being an incredible person, is also a fan a funny road signs.

While I appreciate the warning, it does beg the question, why are pedestrians on the highway?

We thought this was the strangest sign of the trip (the funniest is below). This was warning motocyclists about the cattle guard (called “Texas Ramps” in Canada), but the picture is priceless.

This was classic. We loved the fact that it looks like an adult is jamming a beer bottle into his eye. So we did the appropriate thing and re-enacted it in the following picture.

This just looks like it would be on a t-shirt.

We loved the specificty of this sign: don’t feel the bighorn sheep.

What did that say?

May 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Back in high school, during the summer between my junior and senior year, I went on a cross-country road trip with my friend at the time Jeni.  We drove through a part of this current road trip,  Chicago out to Yellowstone. I remember seeing a good number of signs that made you scratch your head.

 

And so, in order to capture the moment and share it all with you, when we see an interesting sign, we’ll copy down the text or snap a picture of it and post it on here.  I anticipate some of them will be funny, some of them will be a reminder of what part of the country we will be in, and some may just not make any sense at all.
