 A road sign test. - Cliff Pope

About half way through I got the suspicion that they might all be fake signs, that perhaps even the apparently genuine ones might have errors in the drawing, and that perhaps the whole test was a spoof.

I thought the crossed-out speed camera might well be genuine - surely I've seen a sign saying speed cameras not in operation?

The exploding car looked implausible to me - too unpredictable and surely an exceedingly rare occurence to be genuine?

The three arrows doing a parallel diversion - isn't that a real sign on stretches of temporary diversion during road works?

Anyway, the point of signs surely is that you are forewarned to take the appropriate action when the occasion arises. Lots of signs merely tell you things that you have no power to do anything about anyway - if rocks fall on you, a plane lands on the road by mistake, a tank crosses, or a car explodes, what are you meant to do, and how does having a sign help you?

Perhaps I've watched "Would I lie to you?" too much.
