Road signs are an essential part of our day-to-day lives. Without them we'd end up crashing, upside down or on fire. Or all three.
But when was the last time you paid a road sign a second glance? They're part of the furniture, as ubiquitous a sight on our roads as a white line or an Audi driver following the car in front at a distance of 0.00002mm.
However, some road signs are so inherently daft, pointless or hilarious that they do deserve your attention, and we've cobbled together a list of the twenty funniest road signs we could find.
First off, a monumentally pointless bit of automotive signage.
We think this sign means 'No breakdancing on car bonnets'.
Oh dear...
Shhh! You'll give it away!
We can't imagine that house prices are particularly high on either of these roads.
There should really be a sign like this outside my local.
This sign raises an important question, and that question is: Why would you WANT to disturb a pair of copulating kangaroos?

We're guessing this is where Piers Morgan lives.
Well, duh!
Piers Morgan owns a second home on this street.
Irrefutable proof that we are a nation governed by idiots.
The Welsh text on this sign in Swansea reads: "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated."
Another Welsh sign. Only kidding, it can't be Wales -- it isn't raining.
What is it with the Welsh?
We're not going to make another joke about Piers Morgan. Honest.
Don't drive dangerousty, drive safety and carefulty.
...unless they're brandishing a knife, which means that they're prepared to make you a tasty sandwich to thank you for the ride.
I've often wondered why elderly people feel the need to conga across the road.
