So someone posted their favorite sign over on Mastodon, and I replied with what is my favorite sign, the 'No Straight' sign.

First time I saw this was on a new intersection where one side is a highway ramp, and the other a two-way road, apparently 'Do Not Enter' signs weren't enough, so they put one of these up. Honestly, I'm surprised to know its a standard, Missouri isn't exactly known for sticking to standards, whether its abbreviations like LA for lane, or the non-standard all text signs on the road to my house announcing the road closure ahead and the truck ban on it.

Beware of Invisible Cows

Up at the visitor’s center for the Mauna Kea observatories, there’s a sign that says, “Beware of Invisible Cows.” It was dark when we were there, and I tried to get this picture without using the flash since there were people with portable telescopes ten feet away, so it’s really blurry:

Fortunately someone in charge recognized the humor value, and the visitor’s center sells bumper stickers:

Of course, it turns out other people, visiting during the day, have snapped better pictures of the sign.

Update 2025: They still sell stickers, magnets and T-shirts featuring the warning! The T-shirts are printed with the words, but not the cows, in glow-in-the-dark ink, so at night, the cows are in fact invisible. I’m tempted…

Note: Our visit to Mauna Kea was on Saturday, April 9, 2005.

📸💬 #Photoblog – I went for a delicious photo walk in the rain today – It was pretty gloomy but really refreshing. My umbrella stayed in my bag and I embraced the drizzle. #RoadSigns #Trees #Photography

Every sign has a story behind it, and I suspect this one in Bowling, just to the west of Glasgow, might be more interesting than most.

Driving through the Midlands. Not sure how close I am to my rendezvous point. If only there were a sign…

The Summercove Hills

Parking up by Charles Fort is always easier than trying to get through Summercover near Kinsale. The road is very narrow and steep, both ways, if you’re trying to the to the Bulman Bar.

Those yellow diamond-shaped road signs are actually part of Ireland’s relatively recent road signage system. Before the 1970s, Ireland used the older British-style circular and triangular signs, but when the country adopted the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, they switched to these diamond-shaped warning signs, making Ireland one of the few English-speaking countries to use this continental European style. The “10%” gradient warning means the road drops 10 metres for every 100 metres travelled horizontally, which is steep enough that most driving instructors would consider it “character building” for learner drivers!

These traffic signs with reflective film are crucial! They stay visible day and night, in rain or fog, guiding drivers clearly. Reflective film bounces light back, boosting road safety.
