Hacked STOP Signs (Photos)

While it may be illegal to deface traffic signals for a variety of reasons (violent car crashes), these stop signs feature a clever line or cliché that includes the word stop. They may not be the world's coolest bus stops, but they might make you think twice before rolling through an intersection.

It's hard to stop at every stop sign you see, especially if the sign's behind a bush or tall people crossing the street. Officials in Oak Lawn, IL tried to change things by modifying the city's stop signs to be a little more eye-catching. In the fall of 2007 they added one-liners like, "Stop means that you aren't moving." to their signage, but the Illinois Department of Transportation pointed out the changes breached safety standards and requested their removal. The signs were removed in April 2008.

I love the one that said "Stop right there Pilgrim" very funny.
When we lived in Japan, the local workers were repainting the parking spots in my building. They were supposed to be assigned parking and the signs were supposed to read " Parking for building oweners..all others will be ticketed and towed"...well what it said was all others will be TICKED and TOWED....we got a laugh everyday.

"There's one of those in Savannah near the Savannah Mall. It's the Stop Voldemort one. I always notice it and always laugh at it."

-That's actually Denton, Texas and the building in the background is part of the UNT campus. All of the Rich Anderson pics are from Denton.

Kind of funny but having fake photochopped signs is lame! Notice the Pilgrim & the Roses signs are the same photo.
