    That is kinda like the portable billboard west bound near Big Timber, MT that reads.... Ice and snow in area.

    I am not kidding on that one. One lane covered in snow, everything else is white. The first thing that pops into your mind is "No ####!"

    Actually, thats not one of those Captain Obvious signs. There are some roads that will fill faster with water than a clogged bathroom sink. If it's raining, that means theres standing water on the road.

    There's some signs similar in nature to that one around here. We have a lot of low water bridges in our area that are posted along the lines of "floods when raining" and "impassable when flooded". But at first glance "No ####!!" comes to mind.

    Or the tens of millions of dollars this country spends on signs and blinky lights that say. Bridge ices before road.
