The Sign of the Times..Funny Traffic Signs

How often do you see road signs that make you laugh.  When I was young (Over 50 years ago) there was a sign between Amesville and Trimble warning drivers there was a hump in the road.  My mother used to laugh and comment that they should have graded out the hump.

Dad pointed out that the sign and post cost less than 50 bucks but it would cost a lot more to grade it.  He was joking but years later, it was discovered that was the real reason for the sign.  The good news was that my father would speed up and we’d all lose out stomachs and it kept people from speeding.

Here is a compilation of many of these oddball signs, a couple of which I’m certain are photo shopped.
