That means don't go full speed around the corner as there may be a whole lotta cars stopped at a light.

Speed hump. Brings non-automotive activity to mind

I don't have a photo but I've always wondered about the squiggly lines in Europe. It's a white line similar to where a bike lane would be but is in zig-zag pattern

I had a picture of a speed limit of 17. I though they were all divisible by 5.

I think they indicate there's a pedestrian crossing just ahead.

The odd numbers get your attention. Standard speed limit signs just blend into the scenery anymore.

Saw these in Italy

The obligatory German signs.

No they have nothing to do with cutting the cheese. Although the McDonalds sign could very well mean just that

Saw a sign once in Ontario worded Squeeze Left. It didn't elaborate as to whose and what unfortunately. I like to think it meant front seat passenger's breast.

It refers to both the passenger's .... and directions for the driver classic "stop short" maneuver

So 25 Fords, but not one Chevy, Toyota, or Jeep?

From Phu ket Thailand.



I can neither confirm nor deny being in this condition in Phu ket.

Edit
Proper spelling of Phu ket gives ****et. The language police need to learn about actual places.
