some super signs

Driving around two new countries meant reading and interpreting some new road signs. I found some interesting roadside markers.

First, the speed limit signs are not difficult to miss. In fact, they reminded me of a target; aim for this speed. In fact, I probably hit the actual speed as often as I'd get a bulls eye. Getting used to the kilometer per hour was a bit confusing at first; especially without cruise control.

The second sign was a simple exclamation point. This sign indicated that special notice and caution needed to be taken around corners, over dips or bumps in the road, or in this case, the upcoming road construction.

In Australia, I came across many wildlife signs that were a bit different than the deer crossing signs of the Midwest United States. Dead, or alive, I saw each of the three animals on this sign; plenty of kangaroo, a dead wombat, and a beautiful brown male lyre bird.

The last caution indicates the road might be slippery "when frosty." This seemed like a whimsical way of labeling a road condition, but how Ice is addressed in Australia and New Zealand. I think I like it frosty.
