I was about 4 and a half years old.
A childhood belief about road signs

others believed things like this
- I thought for the longest time that a No Standing traffic sign meant no person should stand near that sign.— Shannon
- I used to believe that the "no outlet" sign on roads was a warning to people driving electric cars.— c
- I used to believe that a street sign that read "Dead End" meant that there were dead people buried there.Anon
- On this site when people sign "Anon" I thought Anon was one person who believed in a lot of weird things...— Slow to catch on.
- I use to think that when you say a "one-way" stree sign you had to follow it.— Ron
- I used to believe the "Yield" from the road sign was somebody's name.— julia
