When i was little i used to see those Wrong Way signs and i spent years wondering how they knew where people were supposed to be going.

i used to think that the "BEE ALERT! ARRIVE UNHURT" signs on the highway meant that there were killer bee nests around that area and you should roll your car windows up so they didn't sting you in the face.

When I was a child I thought the road sign "pass with care" meant the people that lived in the houses there were really poor and we should take the time to care, not just drive right by.

My younger sisters used to believe that the "slippery when wet" road signs meant that snakes were following your car

I used to believe that, in Germany, there was a major city called Ausfahrt, because of all the signs on the autobahn with that word on it. Ausfahrt is German for "exit".

In the rural area where my father lived when I was a young child, the areas of the road where the solid yellow center stripe indicated that it is was unsafe to pass the car in front of you were also marked by signs that declared DO NOT PASS. When I got old enough to read I was horrified to think that we were breaking the law over and over by passing these signs that clearly forbade it, but how else are you supposed to get where you're going?

When I was younger I would read the traffic signs on the side of the road but could never understand why we were passing the ones that clearly said "DO NOT PASS" - I finally decided it must mean going off the road onto the area behind the sign. Obviously I was wrong on both counts!

Ever seen a No Outlet sign? It means basically the same as Dead End. I used to think it meant all houses on that road have no electric outlets because they must not have power.

Whenever we were out driving we would pass the signs saying " slow children" as they would want you to slow down. I being the kid i was, would eagerly look out the windows for kids moving in slow motion.

When I was little I use to believe that the highway signs "Park N Ride", for car pools, meant that there was a place to park ahead and go on carnival rides. I use to beg my parents to stop for the "carnival" and they would look at me as if I was crazy! I still get a kick out of those signs.

i used to think the traffic signs with the arrows pointing up (forward) and down(backward) ment that you drove your car up in the sky and under ground...what was i thinking?

Matilda

Whenever we passed "No Passing" signs I thought we were breaking the law so I always got scared and started looking for police. I never told my mom even after I figured out what they really were until about a year ago and I'm 22.

When we drove to visit my grandmother we always got on the highway by turning left near a "No U Turn" sign.

I always thought my dad was going to get arrested because I thought it meant "No You Turn," as in "No Turns Here" (apparently I thought the Sopranos wrote all our street signs).

When I was younger I thought the traingular "No Passing Zone" signs meant that you couldn't drive further than that sign. Every time we drove passed one i would thinkg to myself "well we just did!"... with a so-there attitude.

Casey

the Traffic signs point up (as up ahead) meant straight up litterally...I always looked up at nothing rather confused, my dad let it last as long as he could becuase it made him laugh so hard :)

That if you followed all of the "One Way" signs that it would get you to One Way Products. My dad works there, and there are a lot of one ways streets, and at the time the logo was the same

Nicole

When I was young and we would go by these signs that said "pass with care" and I would always make sure I cared about that spot and when we passed the one that read "do not pass" that we were trespassin on someones land. I beleived that for a long time then I finally asked. What a relief lol

I used to look for an Indian along the roadside because of signs that stated
"watch for fallen rock"

i used to believe that the road sign "not a thru street" meant that they were still building the road and weren't finished yet.

When I saw a road sign that said no outlet that it ment the houses there didn't have electrical outlets. I believed this until I was about 11 and mentioned to my grandma how it must suck to live with no electricity when the next street over had it. I felt pretty dumb when she explained it ment the road was a dead end
