    Here's one taken in Belgium, it the final part of the famous climb "Muur van Geraardsbergen" (Wall of Geraardsbergen), which is very popular in cycle courses. The climb percentage is about 15. The signs says that there's no entry for any traffic, except wheelchairs. Brave wheeler that can get up there!

    The "Ice on Bridge" signs are funny to see in the middle of the summer when it is 90 outside
    It's like playing rock, paper, scissors, and sucker punch to the throat. Sucker punch to the throat always wins... You wanna try?

    Cedric - I sound like a chipmunk on there. Some friends of mine were like, "were you going through puberty?" I was like, no I was already 20, I just sound like a girl.

    Very nice, but I think that the one-way sign in two directions is actually correct. It's a T-crossing where you can turn left or right, and in both directions you will encounter nobody coming your direction.

    ok i suppose that could be why, it would be a bit stupid putting a sign up like that for no reason .

    www.engrish is a blast. I love Japan almost entirely for their abuse of the English language.
