I've been reading through my old journal from my study abroad in Great Britain. There are a lot of things I liked about Britain, but when I came across a page of my own sketches of my favorite British road signs, I remembered that this was what I

I spent a while thinking about what that sign actually signifies, but I've got nothing.

Watch out!
Then come the exclamation marks:
Something which seriously warrants the public's attention:
Not just any squirrels, but:

This one can be interpreted a number of different ways:

These are pretty great. I'm going to have to talk to Naomi about most of them though. I googled them and still can't figure them out.

Hilarious! In Slovenia they have an elderly people sign too, with a crooked old man and his cane. Who designs these?
Hilarious signs! So glad you recorded them! Loved them all and I can imagine how you must have laughed when you saw them in England.
Loved this.
