Guerrilla Signs:15 Funny Road And Rail Notices

Posted: 01 Oct 2009 11:27 AM PDT

Whether we use cars or public transport to get around, we are all bombarded with signs telling us what we must and must not do. Some people have decided to fight back.

1) Gatwick Express or drugged sloths? It's a close call.

2 Dozens of surreal and humorous road signs were attached to lamp posts around the French city of Lyon for an art festival in 2004. The project spread to other cities, and was reprised last year as part of Lyon's unsuccessful bid to be named European Capital of Culture in 2013.

3 Hackers in the US figured out how to commandeer electronic road signs, leading to a spate of apocalyptic alert messages. Other versions included "RAPTORS AHEAD" and "NAZI ZOMBIES! RUN!!!".

4 A convincing spoof notice that will raise a smile from anyone who has travelled on the New York underground. Or the London Underground, for that matter.

5 Posted on the side of a pedestrian crossing in New Haven

6 Optical illusion signs, which gave clear directions to drivers in particular lanes while appearing abstract and unreadable to other car users, were installed in the 92-floor Eureka Tower in Melbourne, Australia.

7 One of a series of fake stickers that appeared on Tube trains in 2004. Others included "No talking", "No eye contact" and "No busking".

8 A selection of the guerrilla signs erected in Leeds.

9 Class-conscious directions for people alighting at Piccadilly Circus Tube station. Part of a project by London-based artist Nils Norman, who specialises in finding ways to subvert urban life.
