If you travel a lot, you’ve probably noticed that street signs around the world are almost identical in every country you visit. That’s not a surprise – they are usually made in a way that everyone could understand them independent of nationality, and not get into trouble.
However, you will always notice even the slightest change in size or color if it differs from your hometown. Of course, slight differences in color and shape are nothing compared to the funny signs you are about to see because people’s stupidity (creativity?) around the world knows no bounds. In fact, these confusing signs do anything but help.
Starting with strange billboards and ending with weird town names and funny street names, this compilation of stupid signs has it all. There’s plenty of pedestrian crossing signs that don’t make sense and translation fails abound too. But we’d still like to know what’s the story behind a sign saying ‘Not responsible if seagulls eat your funnel cake.’ Did it happen that often? Do people really blame the cafe owner for that? Who knows.
Here is our list of 55 Funniest Signs Around the World- enjoy, comment and never forget to share it with other pandas!
