Nobody just builds a sign because it looks good. If that was the case, we’d probably have paintings and photographs on display on the roads.

Whether it’s a sign with an advert or a road sign, it’s there because it has a message to say. These bits of info become quintessential in moving around places, knowing what you’re allowed to do and, more often, what you're not, or being aware of the direction you’re going. But what if the signs fail to do what they are supposed to?

That’s how they end up on one of these Facebook groups: Stupid and Weird signs or Really Bad Signs. Both communities provide pure entertainment that shares anything from road and shop signs to street and public signs that have something off about them. Sometimes it’s a spelling error, other times it’s a unique message, so I leave the stage to them. Scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!

There are signs along the highways around here which say "DRIVE N TEXT, UB NEXT".

I've already bottled mine up, does that count? Or should I leave the bottle in the vehicle too?

If you actually end up in Boston, or London Heathrow, it will be unexpected!

This really does look familiar...though it was under construction when I was there. I think it may be North Carolina State University College of Architecture and Design...maybe...

Actually, the "correct" version is the Photoshop - the building was built in 1965 and expanded in 1982 and what used to be the rear entrance ended up inside on what was now the loading dock - as part of the expansion, a new wall was built that ended up obscuring the C and when the contractor asked wherever they should respace the letters, the Dean said "No, just stick it on the wall because it will look funny." https://www.arch2o.com/story-behind-college-architecture-planning-sign/ Incidentally, here is what the rear entrance looks now: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2048309,-85.4070928,3a,31.9y,211.03h,90.84t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVkbEuhHvrl_TrTcbHJBctw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
