Thread Name: Misleading signs
Subject: RE: Misleading signs
In NZ they used to have road signs at Junctions saying "Give Way"

OK OK not very funny but they had the notion we would read it nearest word first. On the road they painted the same message which everyone and his brother would read top word fisrt so it said

Way Give

I think they abandonned the idea. But you have to admire the antipodean appropriateness.
