We didn't have a car when I was little, so most of what I knew about traffic signs came from what I saw in my suburb. When I was lucky enough to go somewhere in the country with a relative, etc., I couldn't understand why they kept breaking the law by passing all the "DO NOT PASS" signs...
A childhood belief about road signs
others believed things like this
- No passing zones on the highway. How come we just kep passing those signs? — Colleen
- I used to believe the Do Not Pass signs on the roads meant you were'nt aloud to pass the sign. I was 14.Anon
- Having seen enough red octagonal STOP signs in my time, I used to look out for green circular GO signs.— Gary
- Up until I was 17 I thought that 'no outlet' signs meant that the steet didn't have any streetlights.— Kelsey
- As a kid, I thought "No Outlet" signs meant the houses past that point didn't have any electrical outlets.— Julie
- I used to think that we were breaking a law every time my mom passed a "Do Not Pass" sign on the road. — Kyra
