A new survey has revealed that a third of British drivers have had an accident as a result of unclear road signs.

The study by the Confused.com price comparison website also shows that 76% of Brits think the distraction caused by road signs can be dangerous and 46% have found themselves distracted by road signs while driving.

We’d tend to agree but the vast majority of road signs in the UK look positively sensible next to this collection of the funniest road signs from around the world. Just be thankful you don't come across many of these on your drive home.

Huh... At specific spots moose cross at 20 mph straight out of the woods, so the sign is VERY useful. One of them saved my life once... COllision with a moose does take off the top of your car, quite literally...

There is a road sign which keeps getting knicked, so the council has refused to put up any more. The road? Sod Hall Lane!

 

By the way, I'm not going to tell you lot where it is or, if the council have replaced it, you lot might nick it again.

 

Another sign that I saw was at the end of a runway. The road sign? That of a duck. Now was it trying to warn drivers of ducks crossing the road or a graphic telling unwary drivers to duck when a plane  was landing/taking off?

Driving on the I 10 through Arizona, we passed the State Penitentiary which was well signposted. It also had some signs which read ''Warning. Do NOT stop for hitch-hikers

Why is the sign for Blind school not in Braille? Why do drive through A.T.M. machines have Braille buttons?

we may find some of these signs strange. but they are quite usefull in other places.   i did almost kill a penguin once, if there hadnt of been a sign i would have.   but on the flip side, if holiday makers see these signs they spend the next 10 miles driving at 10 mph looking  for whatever was on the sign haha.   where i live now there is a road called "nowhere lane" :)

Why are ''Keep Left'' signs never ''Keep Right'' in countries which drive on the opposite side of the road to us Brits?

Those 'slow mines' are ok! You have around two mins to take cover after you stand on one.
