Best road signs

[dhackney]

A long time ago on a trip to the North of England, my wife and I took a shot of a very funny road sign depicting two elderly people crossing the road - a warning sign of a retirement home ahead. Thus began a decade long collection of road sign photos.

Here's a few of ours.

Ireland

New Zealand

Australia

Jordan

Japan

The Silk Route would be an incredible journey!

Random, but funny. Assuming you like cats as much as I do.

Don't worry, the Women's bathroom had bad weather also

Is this the old folks sign you saw?
This is from Ireland 2006 trip...
Cracked me up when I saw it but realized how cool it was that they respected their elders enough to post the signs...

This is where they all live when in the mountains

Was that Ireland car going off a cliff sign from the Dingle Penninsula?

Yes, that is exactly the sign. I found our shot of it when we were doing The Great Purge in prep for this upcoming expedition, but I don't have it in digital form.

I'm not sure, it's been a few years since we were there. It could have been Dingle or one of the other ones. I think we covered them all except the far NW corner of the Island.

Here's some more car on cliff and in other imperilment signs:

China

I think this was Swaziland or Kwa Zulu Natal

Turkey

Japan

Scott,

I know some people who have done it on bikes. I also know some resources along the way.

We may come back that way from SE Asia. It would be 2-3 years from now, so if you're interested, maybe we could meet up in Western China / Mongolia / Tibet / etc. and come back to the Med. I would want to swing down through Iran since we missed it the last time we were in the region.
