Good canadian road signs
You may get it too, or not, but I just got some great Canadian road signs. I gather I have 10 megs of free webspace, but I don't know from such things.
If anyone is interested in getting a copy of my email, look at my reply-to address and send me your address, and I'll send you one. I'll probably take 2 or 3 days to wait for all requests, and send them out at once.
My favorite sign from the US I saw in rural Louisiana. It was a permanent and said "Do not track mud on highway." I didn't see any construction or any mud.

I've heard that somewhere in the arid desert on the highway north of Las Vegas many miles from the nearest lawn there's a sign that says "Keep off the grass".
In Bakersfield, California, there's a dry, dusty riverbed that pas

No. No farm equipment. No muddy fields.
But even if there were, what would make this piece of highway more important than any other? I drove on that two-lane road and others for probably 20 miles and saw no other su

Well, OK, maybe so. I'll say that I've never seen large amounts of mud on any road I can recall. Of course in most cases the equipment stays in the lot it is working in (at least when construction is involved) and is eventually removed on a flat-bed trailer.
OTOH farming equipment has to go from one field to another. Still it's my funniest sign and I'm not going to let
