19 Funny Street Signs That Were Definitely Not in the Manual

Sometimes we’re walking down the street and come across an unexpectedly funny sign. Maybe it relates to something in our own lives, a trending internet joke, or even a popular song. And of course, our first instinct is to snap a photo and share it with friends or post it on social media. Here are 19 hilarious street signs that people just had to capture.

1. Traffic signs along with streets

A perfect scene: a street called Freaky St and a STOP sign altered to say Never STOP. The result is as curious as it is charming, definitely worthy of a photo. Sometimes, street signs and street names come together to give us these unexpected little moments.

2. The guy from the social media signs

The viral guy on the internet who’s always posting witty signs became really famous for his cleverness and for delivering the perfect phrases at the perfect moments. Everything he does out on the streets ends up being hilarious.

3. The search for animals

Lost pet signs are always funny, whether it’s because of how they’re written, the rewards they offer, or the photos they use. And sometimes, the descriptions are so strange that you’d think they were looking for ALF instead of an actual pet.

4. Random street signs

This sign seems to warn about the worst possible scenario for a cyclist: losing balance and falling straight into the mouth of a crocodile. It’s completely absurd, but impossible not to stop and stare at it.

5. The UFOs have arrived

This crosswalk sign was taken to a whole new level: now it looks like a UFO is abducting the pedestrian right in the middle of the street. It’s like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Impossible not to take a photo.

6. Funny signs with double meanings

This sign basically wishes you good luck… and for good reason. With so many arrows pointing in every direction, figuring out where to go feels like an impossible mission.

7. Fear with humor

A sign that says the prison is just ahead, plus someone pretending to head straight for it and to top it off, adding “I won’t kill you.” Definitely a classic worthy of a photo.

8. Located at the crossroads of Man and Steel

9. Caution: Extra-Strong Children Ahead

Children sign took an unexpected turn when someone added “on steroids.” And honestly, judging by the super-muscular kid in the drawing, you can’t help but laugh. One of those signs that makes you stop and take a photo.

10. Letter swap

Sometimes letters get swapped, creating new words that actually make sense, and other times they don’t but they’re still funny because we don’t expect to see a typical sign written incorrectly.

11. Don’t mess with the ducks, they mean serious business

12. Well, that seems like a waste of time at this point

13. The signs that sneak into our everyday lives

These signs make you laugh because you relate them to your everyday life. It’s probably a sign someone passes on their way to work, and at the very least, it brings a smile in the middle of all the traffic.

14. Always smile

A typical traffic sign, but also the perfect spot to take a photo and smile and have a good time

15. The devil is present

It’s always fun to see street names like this, especially when they’re paired with something related to the same theme. They’re perfect examples to make you laugh and snap a photo.

16. Vandalism on traffic signs

Many people paint on signs to turn them into something funny. Sometimes, the creativity of some people is truly surprising.

17. A double message to ensure it’s respected

Many times, they put up signs that end up being funny like in this case, simply by giving a double message so people pay attention and know they need to stop.

18. They found me

This sign makes many women use it as a joke and want to take a photo with it. It definitely brings a smile and can make a road trip more enjoyable.

19. Lucky they gave a warning

This one is funny because it gives obvious information. Could it be that many people just drive past and don’t see the water? Let’s not find out.
