The UK has some pretty strange road signs in it’s highway code, but we’re not alone. Here’s a collection of some strange road signs from across the globe, plus some favourites from the UK too! Which is your favourite? Have you got any to add to our list?
South Africa
We wonder what drunken incident made them feel the need to put this warning to motorists up?
Scotland
Edinburgh’s streets are narrow and crowded, especially near Waverley Railway Station where this sign is. We think this sign is warning drivers that people might be in the road? We aren’t sure!
Essex, England
This could be the worst kept secret ever! OK, so we know it’s not really a secret anymore, the old decommissioned Cold War bunker is a tourist attraction now. Still it makes for a rather funny sign!
Rural England
Not the most necessary information for a driver. Would it have been better to leave the post without a sign?!
China
Not the most obvious way to sign for no heavy loads, unfortunate for hitchhiking elephants!
Europe
This road sign has left us totally confused. We can’t figure out what this person’s meant to be doing or what it is that’s prohibited!
Winnipeg, Canada
It took us a while to figure this one out. It’d be difficult to work out which exit to take when you’re behind the wheel driving!
Rural America
This sign was designed for warning drivers that there are low flying aircraft, but it looks a little like the person in the car is taking their plane for a stroll.
United Arab Emirates
We’re excited by this one! Will it be a pot hole, an animal crossing, or a drive in movie?! All we know is there’s surprises ahead, we hope it’s nothing disappointing.
Australia
Not your average warning for erosion – beware of cows and rocks falling! Or it could be that they are filming a sequel to Twister…
