Odd Signage

Buggies on road warning sign

When travelling one comes across signage that is different and in some cases is very odd and sometimes incomprehensible to the traveller. Here are a few that I have been able to photograph. There were many more seen in my travels, but it was impossible to stop safely to photograph them. One such sign warned that there was a prison in the area and that one should not pick up hitchhikers! (Pennsylvania?). Another advised of a Turtle Crossing location. Some signs are self-explanatory to anyone, whereas others can only be deciphered by locals.

 

CAUTION HEAVY PLANT CROSSING – I photographed this sign in 2008 on the road leading up to Edinburgh Castle. I am still not sure what it means!

What should I expect to see? Large trees crossing the road?
