The world's most pointless sign?

[MichaelW2]

The villiage sign in Midsomer says:
"Welcome to Midsomer. Strictly No Murders"
Like that is going to work....

The Welsh seem keen on painting the sign "ARAF" (slow) on hilly roads. When cycling, I find this an utterly pointless instruction.

If you have to obey signs, surely you have to stay 'slow' until another sign tells you to speed up?

There are a couple of signs in my area that make me wonder.

One is a repeated "40" sign just before a bend over a narrow railway bridge, immediately followed by a "Slow" sign. How slow is slow? If not 40, why put a 40 sign there?

The other is a "60" sign at the end of a motorway slip road immediately in front of a busy roundabout that includes an entrance to a McDonalds and a petrol station. To my mind, if roundabouts are to work (in keeping everybody moving) they need you to slow down not give the impression that you would be fine going round on two wheels.

I like this one.

I kid you not, but I once bought a set of dual controls for a car which said on the box, "Not for human consumption"

“Keep away from children”, good advice, but why put it in small print on a matchbox? It should be on massive billboards all over the country.

A neighbour has a similar sign on his door. I saw him the other day putting loads of junk mail/flyers in his brown cardboard and paper recycling wheelie bin,grumbling away to himself.

You wouldn't think people needed reminding.

It was on the wall at a rooftop bar in Shanghai. I think the message is don't toss your glassware over the edge
