Ignoring the signs is a good way to end up at the wrong destination.

Pre-war city sign at the Goat Bridge (Kozla Chupria), at the eastern boundary, on the Pale road. It looks to have been used as target practice during the war, but by 1999 the area had reverted to its traditional, more peaceful role as a popular picnicking spot for Sarajevans.

Near Grafton, WV

 

has amazing collection of vintage signs.

In Barbie doll pink. I always wondered if they'd get in trouble for that...not sure if they did, but within a year or two of this photo the sign changed to something else. Still a barbershop/beauty salon (California & Milwaukee)

A witty sign stating that the traveller is "half-way up or down".

 

A photo from the Aasla island in the archipelago of Turku. These stairs take you to an air surveillance tower that was originally built in 1938 and then rebuilt in 2004.

Cool Tank Girl type sign..

The Chief Court Hotel sign was originally installed around 1940 at the hotel formerly located at 1201 E. Fremont Street. The hotel architect was A. Lacey Worswick. The sign was loaned and refurbished by the Tiberti Family. It was installed as part of the Neon Museum on July 8, 1997. The sign can now be found on the northeast corner of Fremont Street Experience and 4th Street.

Sometimes the signs become the landscape rather than an eyesore

Although nothing special, Street signs in Japan have a special attraction to me.

 

The whole japanese address system is very strange and often even the police has difficulties to find a place.

 

On maps to shops you seldom have the direct address but rather what kind of places, like convenience stores or other shops, are close so you can find it. I sometimes think addresses in Japan have kind of a symoblic value ...

 

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Most of the Ridgeway signs are black wood, or made out of a modern material called Plaswood (made out of recycled plastics.) This one was slightly different - an old, slightly rusting metal sign.

First stop sign too faded? Don't replace it, put a new one over top of it!

I'm adding this to the pre-Worboys signs for now as

1) Public road/

2) Design/

although the font doesn't seem 100% (capital G usual giveaway) I'm not aware of any other signs made like this besides one in Hillingdon Council for horses.

So as it follows the standard pre-Worboys format for information signs I can't think of any reason it isn't, unless it was either made by the council or the developers when they built the new road and housing estate. Any views on this dilemma?

Ghost sign: 'Warings Wilton Factories from London Wall', Shepperton Road, N1.

 

A familiar street, a different day, I've noticed this sign many times before but today the light seems right.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

The Stop here on red sign turns on when the main street is yellow or green. Essentially, this is a crosswalk that can have light use, in front of a fire station entrance. In order to add emphasis, the sign turns on when the main street is to stop.

 

This was done by running the signs on the red output for load switches 15 and 16 (one for eastbound, one for westbound). There is a logic statement in the controller that states that when phase 2 is yellow, or red, the red for LS 15 turns on. Similar for phase 6 and LS 16. The reds were used to not have to modify the monitor settings. It could have been done with one load switch, using the yellow and green outputs, but that would have required some extra work in the monitor.

I took this photo for the old sign which says:

Notice

Any person found trespassing or depositing rubbish or committing a nuisance within these railings will be prosecuted

 

Once outside the railings, which are not now extensive, one may, presumably, commit a nuisance with impunity :)

Street sign/art. A lot of stickers turn this sign from a sign into street art. Notice the Maple Sizzurp sticker. I already posted about this here: alleyofashes.tumblr.com/post/61297794441/a-modified-canad...

Kalamazoo has some truly great signs. This one was for a used car dealer near downtown.

This is the old Greyhound Bus Station sign in Evansville, Indiana.

Down town on a walk about - the sign says it all.

The new one outside has neon stars. This was THE hang-out when my parents were in high school, and is still open, though no longer really a drive-in.
