Give me a sign!

From the last of the North Carolina photos I give you:
"Road signs you will not find in Indiana"
(At least my part of Indiana)


Nope, not going to find a tunnel. The closest thing to a tunnel that you might find around here is driving on a rural road between 2 corn fields in August.

Semis just do not travel at that angle around here

I've never even seen this sign until now. My first thought was, "Wow! What kind of horrific accident happened here that the police felt the need to put up a permanent sign!" I'm having thoughts of CSI teams searching the area. I kid you not! Then I saw the place on the side of the road where you could pull over and examine any damage to your vehicle without being taken out by trucks careening down the mountain. DUH!!

Now we do have a variation of this in Indiana, but this sign is at EVERY bridge and over pass south of the Kentucky state line. Here you don't really need the sign because everything is iced over here. The bridge, the road, the driveway, the lock to your car. You get the picture.

As a side note, after this weekend I have a new pet peeve - 10 miles of construction zone where there is absolutely NO construction. No trucks, no equipment, no workers, NOTHING. Just 4 or 5 construction barrels out in the median. But there may be a cop, so you had better follow the rules and slow down.

And now for my favorite sign of all, and these are in Indiana


When I see this sign I hear a voice in my head that sounds a lot like Darrell Waltrip and it says, "Boogedy, Boogedy, Boogedy, let's go racing boys!"

Those are great. I do think my favorite sign is when they call a speed bump a... Speed Hump. Really who comes up with that. H
