Roadside Signs

Did you ever think much about the roadside signs you pass? Are the signs universal or local to the area you are in? Could a person determine the area of the country they are in based on roadside signs? It is doubtful we would see a "Panther Xing" sign in many states, so wouldn't it be reasonable to think "Florida" when we see a Panther Xing sign?

How often have you seen the thing you are being cautioned to watch out for in a sign? Regarding Panthers I have seen one living out of captivity and it wasn't in the area of a panther caution sign. The viewing occurred during an afternoon walk last year in a secluded area in SW Florida. It made for a memorable life experience and entertaining Facebook post. 

How do signs vary from place to place and what story do they tell? Traveling over highways and byways my camera will begin to capture signs interesting to me. Please share those interesting to you, I would enjoy seeing them.

  1. Good read! Words like highways, roads, paths, signs, destination, dead ends, are all related and pertain to our travels. These same words are all metaphors relating to our individual life course we choose.
