We all happen across them from time to time. Little pockets of humour spread all over the countryside. It doesn’t matter whether it is in a remote little village or on your everyday travels; a funny sign, whether intentional or not, can often make your journey memorable – or at the very least, liven up your day. This week’s funny signs were compiled by Kerry Peers.

The following funny signs were recently sent in by our readers:
![Speed bump - Peter Jordan](https://www.getaway.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Speed-bump-Peter-Jordan.jpg)
Peter Jordan thinks this is a great, original addition to the speed bump sign, indicating that graffiti is, in his opinion, a noble art form. When driving in Pretoria North, Peter actually looks out for this sign and enjoys the artists handy work again and again.
![Public toilets - Aldo Conti](https://www.getaway.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Public-toilets-Aldo-Conti.jpg)
Seen in a commercial centre in Windhoek, Aldo Conti was really glad that the sign specified that the toilets would be closed when they were not open, otherwise he might have been confused.
![Special of the day - Marthinus Nel](https://www.getaway.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Special-of-the-day-Marthinus-Nel.jpg)
When Marthinus Nel went for lunch at a new food store that opened in Bulawayo, he discovered a special he had never seen before. Not sure that sounds very appetising…
![Stolen cars - Wilma Hoefnagels](https://www.getaway.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Stolen-cars-Wilma-Hoefnagels.jpg)
Wilma Hoefnagels avoided parking in this area outside the Southerton Police station in Harare, as she was trying to prove that her vehicle wasn’t stolen. Would have been a pretty incriminating move had she chosen to park within those gates!
![Maak skoon - Michelle Martin Getaway funny signs](https://www.getaway.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Maak-skkon-Michelle-Martin.jpg)
Michelle and Andrew Martin found this highly descriptive sign in the back streets of Steytlerville while on a photography course.
