Here's a sign that Britain still is top nation. This is my favourite road sign, one you see around occasionally. We must be top nation if we still have road signs which assume the population is literate enough to understand the phrase 'adverse camber'. Two words hardly anyone ever uses.
I didn't take this picture. I did an image search on Google and it's from a personal site of an American visitor who clearly found the sign puzzling. Apologies to him if he discovers my appropriation.
Hurrah for the DoT and their high expectations of motorist vocabulary.
that really is a beauty. i agree that it lifts a man's heart to see such a sign.
perhaps it's a way of eradicating the stupid. they won't be able to read the sign and will go whizzing off the road to almost certain death.
perhaps.

Hear hear. On the subject, I always thought that Soft Verge was an unsuccessful pool hustler.
