Signs are erected for many reasons. Some enforce rules and laws, others serve as warnings, while some are used for advertising. Most signs are helpful in some shape or form, but there are many that will have you looking puzzled once you read what they say.

If you travel often or have a keen eye you will no doubt come across funny signs regularly. From billboards to road signs and everything in between, this article looks at some of the funniest signs that have cropped up across America.
