Great catch! I read the comments from the link you provided and noticed that the skeptics indicate the bottom three signs are PhotoShopped because of the darkness in color. Flipping that theory around, I predict the top sign to be the fake. Observationally, you cannot go straight or right. Going backward could be prohibited because you are on a one-way street (probably changing into a two-lane). Left, which you cannot see, is probably the only option.
I thought it was fascinating because I created it. Please credit the photo to me. The photo has been on my Flickr site for awhile. It’s part of a pool of members of the Cleveland Photographic Society in Cleveland, Ohio. Check it out at Flickr.com/photos/joedraws/ on page 5 of my photos. A woman in Europe sent an email saying she would get out of her auto…set her phone on the road …look up to the sky and say,”Beam me up, Scotty!”
Hey! That’s been my friend’s myspace picture for ages! (A real friend, that I know real life, who insisted I put up a myspace to begin with, so maybe not a real friend?)
Going diagnal would mean leaving the road and driving over yards and possibly hitting homes with your vehicle. Most homeowners would not approve of that idea. The sign does state no turning back so you cannot proceed to u-turn.
Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven’t before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven’t before
If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
Stand in the place where you live

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason, reason is calling
That’s pretty awesome.
So, can we go upleft, upright, downleft, downright? Loop hole!
Must be a “bishops only” road.
It’s hotel california!
You can check out any time you like, but you can’t ever leave.
More like Detonation Boulevard by Sisters of Mercy.
boulevarde of broken dreams? dreams such as: getting home
Teleport?
Don’t do anything, just sit there and don’t ever move again!
There’s nothing saying you can’t fly or dig your way past this area.
Unless those last two signs mean more literally “no down” and “no up” rather than “no backwards” and “no forwards”
“We got nowhere to go but up!”
Where were going, we don’t need roads…
Back to the Future
FTW!
Good one! But a repeat

it’s a repeat… but, its kind of the very definition of this sites spirit. so , i forgive it

The two top signs are authentic and the two bottom ones were Photoshopped. I’m sure of that because I created this monster.
The bottom two signs are for the z-axis.
No flying (or at least no vertical takeoffs) and absolutely no burrowing.
@ Frax: That’s also not possible, depending on how you interpret the lowest sign…
Flying cars and moles only beyond this point.
Dance Dance Revolution, anyone?
So, what, you just stand still?
“You just sit there and think about what you did! And just wait until your father gets home and hears about this…”
Would a U-turn be double whammy?
I know! You can only move diagonally!
Quick, dig a tunnel to China or fly up
But on the back side, it didn’t say nothin’
That side was made for you and me.

Hope you brought your Portal gun.
Please stand by, a grue will be with you shortly.
Beam me up.
You are fine, right where you are. Just wait there, and someone will be with you shortly.
“No left turn, no right turn, no entry, no reversing. Get out of the car and put your hands on your head, do it!”
Looks like we’ve found the road sign Frankie Boyle was talking about.
I was hoping someone else thought of that!
At the next intersection, turn up.
The only way to get out of that sign trap is to FLY!
U TURN!
Wife: ” Honey, why are we stoping?” Husband: ” Silence woman, I’m trying to figure this out!”
Only thing to do is chop down the sign.
IT’S A TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One sign says you cannot go back! Get out of your car and try to wave at any helicopters flying by to pick you up…slim chance but better than nothing.
The sign says you can’t go upwards
All arrows point to directions on the roads not clouds in the sky.
kind of a metaphor for my life!
so how the hell did you get here???????
LET’S GO TO DIAGON ALLEY!!!
(let’s go diagonally)
thats amazing…..
Hey! That’s been my friend’s myspace picture for ages! (A real friend, that I know real life, who insisted I put up a myspace to begin with, so maybe not a real friend?)
They never mentioned U-turns!
obviously you go diagnal theres no sign thats says you cant do that
Yeah, but there’s a tree that says that
Going diagnal would mean leaving the road and driving over yards and possibly hitting homes with your vehicle. Most homeowners would not approve of that idea. The sign does state no turning back so you cannot proceed to u-turn.
okay, who divided by zero at the stopsign???
Obviously not Chuck Norris…
Definitely saw signs like that in Washington DC
(Insert Admiral Ackbar voice here)
It’s a trap!
I smell a ‘shop.
Why it most definitely is mr(s). Anon. Written on earlier comments. But it’s still freaking hilarious
Sooner or later, someone was gonna post this… looks like its gonna be me…
O_o
photoshop
Oh snap, a logic-trap!
Upp Upp and Away
superman must be in charge
suddenly i have lyrics running through my head…

Fine…I’ll just stay right here then..since there isn’t a ‘No Loitering’ sign.
The ‘No Loitering’ sign is hidden behind the others. So is the ‘Just kidding, go ahead!’ sign.
You can’t get there from here.
