Some signs at interstate highway interchanges list some of the large cities in the direction that you'll end up going by taking that on-ramp. In my home city, one such sign listed a city called Wheeling (in West Virginia). I didn't know this was a place, and thought it was some sort of instruction for the use of the interstate (that "wheeling" meant you could go fast without stopping, or something like that).
A childhood belief about road signs

- Up until I was 17 I thought that 'no outlet' signs meant that the steet didn't have any streetlights.— Kelsey
