McSweeney's chronicles our state's unique road signs, although as Oom_rl notes, they missed the one inviting truck drivers onto Storrow Drive.

In either Davis Square or in Roslindale where American Legion Highway meets Cummins Highway and Canterbury Street.

…. “first 5 drivers to come to a red light must proceed through the intersection at breakneck speed while furiously texting”.

Hit a Pedestrian?
Still in a Hurry?
Too Busy to Remain at the Scene?

Remember to call the police within 72 hours so we can decide if it's worth sending someone out to interview you

I first heard it in VT.

The line also needs to start with an "Ayuh" to get it right.

"Ignore and proceed directly into the intersection."

In February 2015, when we constantly had major snowfalls to start our weeks, a picture was circulated on social media showing a "Welcome to Massachusetts" sign with the addition "closed Mondays".

This is an actual sign I saw in Colorado. I have no idea what it means.

Especially the speed limit ones.

I'd like more "Legal Left on Red" signs posted.

By Brent Jeffries on Mon, 01/13/2025 - 6:25pm.

The first rule of left on red is we don’t talk about left on red!

I finally saw it a couple of weeks ago. Can you believe it took me 25 years?

They ever warn you to watch out for ice around here.
