10 road safety signs that hilariously draw the point across

Road signs are supposed to grab your attention. But more often than not, they fail to do so. Ever wondered why? It’s because they are typically presented with geometrical shapes and sombre stick figures which can be fairly boring. However, this doesn’t take away from the fact that following road signs is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly.

So, to drive the point of road safety across, the traffic police, road safety organisations and the government have been coming up with some creative ways to do so.

From witty remarks to quirky puns, these road signs narrate a very interesting tale with the right amount of humour that will make you laugh out loud. They actually have what it takes to slow you down and take home a message while appreciating the humour in it.

It is imperative to follow traffic rules and the road safety guidelines to avert injuries and serious accidents.
