Yes, this is a genuine road sign, high in the Cheviot Hills and close to the England/Scotland border. It's there to control the off-roaders that use the The Street, an ancient drove road. (The 'road' is the zigzag grassy line to the right of the sign.) Dates shown refer to lambing time in these hills.
The only way a 'motorist' could come across this sign is to have driven up to the ridge from the English side (no road though!). I have marked the position on the map.

The old sign from the Douglas plant in Long Beach--then the McDonnel-Douglas plant, then the Boeing plant, and now just the Boeing building. One of the great neon signs in Southern California--an impressive sight on Lakewood Blvd, just north of the LB Airport.

This is the first Chesterfield Cigarettes ghost sign that I ever come across. I can recall when Chesterfield was one of the most widely advertised and sold cigarettes brand. However, I have not noticed any advertising for Chesterfield in many years.
The sign is in good condition and appears to have been restored. It covers part of a Rex Flour ghost sign as evidenced by the visible “Rex is King” statement which is normally included in Rex Flour ghost signs.
Comments are welcome.

Last night when we were putting Jessie to bed, she told us she thinks she lost her stuffed dog Luc Dog (named after our old dog Luc) at school. It's her favorite stuffed animal. She loves him like no other toy. She began crying at the thought that she might not see him again. So I made this sign and we're going to hang it at her school. I hope we find him. She will be crushed if we don't.
This one's up for debate. There is another door with a normal Man|Woman sign. This one must be for children. It may be telling us that boys should enter the boys' room, optionally accompanied by a man, and girls should go to the girls' room, optionally accompanied by a woman.
But the boy and the girl are in gray, whereas the man and the woman appear in black. That would mean that men should go to the men's room, optionally accompanied by their sons and women should go to the women's room, optionally accompanied by their daughters, right?
Or is this all about the vertically challenged? "Must be this tall to pee..."
It has been a long time coming but on the 14th October 2017 at the East Lancashire Railway Autumn Steam Gala BR 4MT 2-6-4T No.80097 was dragged out of her shed onto Platform One at Bury Bolton Street Station. Up until now you would have to wander down to the end of Platform Two to get a glimpse of the smoke box or the cab. However, now that the Bury Standard 4 Group had got the boiler back they could start putting all the pieces back together. The light is at the end of the tunnel and it was time to show the public were the restoration project was up to.
Unfortunately the different sign teams don't talk to each other, so there's a good chance that a new sign will partly or wholly obscure another.
And remember, kids...
It's pronounced 'aitch'.
Not Haitch.
The latter is gaining ground, unfortunately. Even people working in senior positions at the BBC are falling into the trap.
I blame schools, and the government's failure to properly fund them.
A blast from the past when Diners, Drive Ins, Bars and Service Stations were all illuminated by creative neon signs. This one was seen in a store that sold nostalgic items of times past.
The sign, the form, the name — all the attributes of the sign system create a hindrance ... Reality is not captured by these bodies!

This is one of the busiest corners in the Nobb Hill area of Albuquerque. It has 5 different streets merging at this point. It can get a bit congested here at times and it's got lots of signs. I only got a few in this shot. Interesting sign above telling the pedestrian to use the cross walk, but then above says "no pedestrians"...a tad confusing! I love the Model Pharmacy sign about the European Fragrances, it's a favourite of mine.
Thank You for any/all comments you may wish to add, I do appreciate them all.
Have A Warm, Safe and Terrific Tuesday.
