If you see one of these slow down and look for the "ELOH TOP" and you will be just fine.

The problem is, dyslexic people see that one very important red sign as "POTS".

Why do they have a sign for "POTS"?.

How did they teach the deer what those signs mean?

Nothing worse than a dyslexic drunk

I like to drink vodka and carrot juice. You still get drunk but your vision gets better.

How about Democrat Party members?

Moral relativism must be hard on drivers. Does the other person really have a red light? Why should a red light mean stop? What if the other person was born with an orientation that make "red mean go"? Are directional signs absolute? What if you are from England? Is is american cultural imperialism to drive on the right only? Perhaps we should rebuild all the roads to have "dirve on the left" as well as drive on the right roads?

Is that reeealy a red light OR is it a green light trapped in a red light socket?

Reminds me of when I flunked a drivers' license test
a few years back. I answered all the "logical" questions
correctly, but failed at the recognition of sign shapes.
When the superviser called it to my attention, I said
well, I never pay much attention to the SHAPE of a sign, I READ them!" He passed me.
Besides, some of the signs have changed shape or color since I was a "youngster." For example, Railroad crossings used to have RED signs.
