It’s amazing how many people go to considerable lengths to tell other people wacky things on boards – and often get the message so delightfully wrong doing it. Hundreds of these memorable signs have been spotted, photographed, and sent in by Getaway readers as they journey through these hilarious, poignant, silly, ridiculous and often bewildering signs.
Getaway magazine looks back over the twenty-odd years of publishing to bring you this Best of Getaway Funny Signs collection. This definitely doesn’t mean that these funny signs have all been seen before. In recent years travel has become easier and more and more Getaway readers have explored an ever-increasing footprint across the planet, meaning the repertoire of funny signs pictures have grown to include some never-seen-before corkers.

Sometimes we get so caught up following directions that we forget to actually look where we are going. Nobby Clarke happened upon this serendipitous encounter while at the Lion park in Muldersdrif.
Natalie Ward discovered this sign in Montague. We’ve heard of these dangerous neighbourhood felines. Constantly meowing, rolling on their backs, purring.
There’s nothing like good backup for park signage. Taken by Katie Gough in Addo Elephant Park.
If you’re not scared of the crocodiles (at Corbett Tiger Reserve in India), you won’t be scared of prosecution, says Jan and Leone Vorster (Randburg).
Yes, yes, you should. Taken (from a distance) by Cardo Kleberg.
