Funny Road Signs and Place Name Signs

Real signs, standing where they were put: town limits, station platforms and wildlife warnings that make drivers pull over for a photo. Every one is a permanent sign photographed in place, with no doctored pictures and no handwritten shop notices. Each caption gives the true reason behind the name or the warning, which is usually funnier than any joke anyone could add. The place names run from a Welsh railway platform to a Maori hill name of 85 letters, and a few of their signs were stolen so often that the villages answered with a block of stone or a new spelling. The animal warnings are mixed in between: camels, wombats, penguins, moose and polar bears.
