America has long been a popular destination for road trippers, especially over the last century. It is filled with roadside attractions, stunning landscapes and famous natural sights, and is an ideal place to discover through self-drive. Beautiful coastlines, rugged mountains, flatlands, deserts and vibrant city centres can all be discovered by driving along its famous routes and vast highway system.
Funny American road signscan be seen just about anywhere and add some humour into driving around the nation. They can be seen from buses, cars and even motorbikes, and spotting them can make for a great road trip game in itself, especially for those with children in tow.
One of the funniest road signs in the US is seen upon entering the state of Arkansas. The sign reads: ?Welcome to Arkansas, the Natural State. Home of President Bill Clinton?. Below this reads another sign that states: ?In Accordance with Meagan?s Law, the above is a Known Sex Offender?. Another sign that gives thanks to a former president is one in the state of Connecticut. This sign reads: ?Connecticut Welcomes You. Birthplace of George W. Bush.? A sign sits below it that says: ?We Apologize?.

The state of California is filled with funny American road signs. One of the most hilarious is the highway exit sign in San Lorenzo that says: ?A Street Downtown?. In Yosemite National Park, someone really messed up and posted a sign stating: ?Not a Through Toad?. If driving through Knights Ferry, you may spot a sign that says: ?No Stopping at Any Time? followed closely by a stop sign.
If you are scared of Big Foot or other giant creatures, steer clear of the Pike?s Peak Highway in Colorado. When driving along this route, you will see a sign that says: ?Big Foot Xing. Due to Sightings of a Creature Resembling Big Foot, This Sign Has Been Posted For Your Safety.? It even comes complete with a picture of a Big Foot-like creature.

Washington apparently has a high percentage of illiteracy, and this is easy to see as it has a street sign that says ?Make Left? with an arrow that points right. In New York, there is a sign which says: ?No Bicycle Riding in the Subway Tunnel?, which should be a no brainer, unless of course you are on a suicide mission.

On a more serious note, in both Texas and Oklahoma there are road signs that tell you: ?Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Inmates?. Now that is definitely good to know. A sign has also been seen in this region that lets drivers know that speeding is not tolerated. This sign tells passersby to: ?Drive Slow to See Our Village. Drive Fast to See Our Judge.?

More recently, a group of artists that call themselves TrustoCorp have been putting funny, yet official-looking, signs in cities all over America. In trendy areas signs have been seen that say: ?You Are Not Cool?, while others state: ?Fat Zone? Dieting Is Un-American?. To no surprise, the group puts these signs up at known fast-food establishments. Also seen are signs that declare: ?Real Men Use Fists? and ?Don?t Worry?.
