20 Utterly Useless Signs
Signs are supposed to be informative, and thereby useful. But for some strange reason, many roads, buildings or even stuff are filled with signs that don't come close to helping out anyone who bothers to read them. While a lot of signs out there are quite funny, some are just plain annoying, insulting to the intelligence and totally unnecessary. Check them out below:

Someone just spent precious tax dollars to put up a sign warning people about a traffic intersection that's practically just right in front of their faces
Yeah, this one's true, unless you happen to be driving one of those amphibious vehicles we've seen in countless war movies.
Beware of suicidal cows.
What's disturbing about this sign is that it's apparently addressed to the rabbits in bright yellow clothing that regularly pass through those doors.

[...] people who wrote them. Whoever made these have mangled the English language so badly they've become utterly useless signs, because they're just indecipherable to anyone who doesn't speak the local language and knows only [...]
Product warning labels are for the weak… I say save humanity, bring back natural selection!

Is there anywhere to get full size files or reproductions of some of these…or info on the original photog? My friend wants the “No Left Turn” full size to frame!
