Ever seen a sign that just left you scratching your head in wonder? Well, you're not alone. Sometimes there is a logical explanation, but other times ... well, take a look at these gems.

The first two leave me speechless. The last one I've figured out. There's a curve going left, and the sign is instructing drivers to stay on their side of the road while in the curve, which just happens to be the right side of the road. "Ahhhh," you say "now I get it." 

Folks, if you see signs like these while operating your vehicle, you may need to make some quick decisions. That might mean proceeding with caution, or even taking a different route. The danger level, of course, increases significantly if you encounter signs like these in the dark. 

Ultimately, my friends, as responsible drivers, you'll have to make the final decision. Just make sure it's one you'll be able to live with.
