This most likely has been done before but I'll try to revive it. Show pic's of funny road signs, or road signs in funny places.

I remember a few years ago there was a direction sign on a lamp post heading in to Montrose (Angus Scotland? that pointed off the main road down a side road saying "BEACH 1 MILE", below that it read "CARAVAN AND CAMPSIT 1-1/4 MILES"..........it tickled me with a vision of caravaners and other campers floating across the North Sea, I always meant to get a photo of it but never did, it disappeared a few years ago unfortunately.

First time I was in Germany, I was extremely confused by how big a town Ausfahrt appeared to be. I've seen 2 or 3 exits lead to one town in the uk, but by 4 or 5 it's getting ridiculous for a town I've never heard of...

my (German speaking) sister laughed. A lot.

Not sure, just google image'd 'tanks road sign'. There are a few around the Yorkshire Dales, which is where I have seen them in person.

On a banger rally (The Inbetweeners theme) a couple of years ago through Italy/Switzerland, we stumbled across this delightful little village....

Aye, thank you - we found out when we got home that apparently there was a place not too far from there called Fcensoredking however Brits keep stealing the signs!
