On the way to Queenstown there are sign that read "Caution Road Slumps Ahead" and near Alexandra "Caution Hill Slumps Ahead". As a child I go very worried about this imagining slumps as being some big slug like creature that would "slump" out and get you if you weren't cautious and that there were two breeds of them. Only in NZ huh?
A childhood belief about road signs
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that north was always straight ahead. I could never face south, but I knew it was behind me!— Bruces
- I used to believe the "Yield" from the road sign was somebody's name.— julia
- i always thought that a DEAD END sign
as where they put all the road kill.
— pav - I used to think that we were breaking a law every time my mom passed a "Do Not Pass" sign on the road. — Kyra
- i used to think that the road sign "dangerous" was actually "dang-er-roos" a kind of bouncy marsupial— owen cash
- A billboard sign read: Moonshine kills.
I thought being caught outside by the moon would kill me. Humph.Anon
