Title: Least favorite road signs
Post by: 280Z Turbo on June 21, 2005, 01:32:41 PM
Which one do you hate to see and why?

This one always pisses me off.

I think we've all had this in an area we're not familar with. So you're cruising along in the right lane, minding your own business and all of the sudden you see this sign and realize that you have to quick get over into the left lane. To make matters worse, there's usually a steady line of traffic in the left lane making it very difficult to merge.

'Cause I'm usually stuck behind some fucknut who thinks a merge sign is the same as a yield or stop sign.

Those pesky white signs with 2-digit numbers in black.

I wanna know why there are Do Not Enter signs, and Wrong Way signs.  If you're not supposed to enter, then that's apparently the wrong way, if it's the wrong way, then you're not supposed to enter. <_<

Nothing like a sign in traffic to remind us of how pathetic our border protection is.  :rolleyes:

"reduced speed ahead" signs...because you have to slow up or feel guilty for not slowing up.  usually means a town is near too.

I love the signs that say: "SPEED LIMIT 35 ENDS" because that's when I floor it up to 55-60.

I don't have a pick of it but theres a sing here that says "right lane must turn left", and the people from southren california that shop here always get all f'ed up from it. They realy need to fix it anyway.

Then they would say "25: REDUCED SPEED AHEAD".

Anything that indicates a road construction, especially when a moron is directing.

And the signs that say "target enforcement" or something like that.  Then you really have to look out.

They always underestimate this one:

This usually means that there is a powerhungry crosswalk guard directing traffic. That pisses me off so bad!

There's one of those by my house. At first I slowed down, but you can hardly even feel it at 55-60 mph!

I hate it when they put it 20ft after the bump, like they do here.
