Great idea for a thread. Very interesting signs so far. Here is one from 2005 in Portree on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. This particular road sign always made me feel nervous when I was learning to drive, and it is still something that makes me think carefully about a three point turn :D .

Taken with a Sony DSC-V1 (before I ever touched a dslr!).

(To follow on from Henry's two pictures the very small print under the road sign says "Do not allow dogs to foul the footpath or grass verges". Very discrete.)

Birma- I can see how that would make you approach a 3 point turn with some trepidation... I do love the utterly decorous nature of the smaller sign. I would have thought it said, Make sure boats park on the left, cars on the right. :lol:

I spotted this walking around downtown the other day.

Great shapes and colours in that last sign Henry :D .

Here is a much simpler sign that appeared in our front garden today.

... and another sign from a walk along the nearby lanes this afternoon. Beautiful light to go with the snow.

No horses on the bridleway today, just dog walkers.

Birma, all that snow sure looks good! It has been quite awhile since I was around snow. I am quite sure that Santa will be making a stop for a good girl!

Usually graphic artists are very careful with details, but the gloved hand and the bare hand - or the glove inside the sleeve and outside the sleeve - look odd.

Yeah, that is sort of funny that the person who made that communist sign was inconsistent like that. Communist signs are ubiquitous in Vietnam. Uncle Ho often figures prominently, but not always.
