Forget road rage and laugh at the signs of our times

How many times have you seen a road sign and either laughed or cried? Laughed because it was incredibly unusual, funny or downright mischievous? Cried because you had previously followed its advice and it led you nowhere near where you wanted to go? Take pity on the poor sign developers. They often have to come up with a single image to visually show you what dangers or surprises might lay ahead, be they a bad-tempered moose that bashes up stopped cars or the dangers of sheep falling off cliffs onto roads.

    If you’re going to have an accident, why not make a real day of it and have several? That’s exactly what one motorcycle driver – a possible Evel Knievel in training - did in the Philippines capital Manila.
