Beaver in Utero: Canadian roadsigns


"Let us pause to ponder the poetic inscrutability of Canadian highway signs...
Great piece on the weirdness of Canada's road signs, from the Boston Globe. Thanks to Aidan O'Neill for the heads-up:
"I’ve just returned from a week of car camping up the coast of New Brunswick, a long and leisurely drive along the edge of the Bay of Fundy. Gorgeous country, and I suggest you check it out if you haven’t already. But what began as a minor puzzlement for my wife and me bloomed over the course of a few days into a full-on obsession: What in the name of Rob Ford were the road signs trying to tell us?.."
