I've seen it once long time ago. I ever thought this really exists. xD

You can't read it, but the small text at the bottom says that the bridge is out ahead

Seems like I just signed my death. Of course it would be stupid to put such a sign up. I once saw it and thought: "Huh? WTF is that? - Whatever! Next pic!" I never really thought about it, and if I would have thought about I may have realised that it doesn't exist.
As for the Germany part: Seeing such a sign around here wouldn't really suprise me. Germans are World Leaders in wasting money. xD

I think there might be a reason for such a dumb sign.  It's either this, another reason, or the fact that, again, someone is really good with Photoshop.

One day, someone made a sign that used the same materials and edges as the one in the avatar.  Someone cut themself on the sign, and sued the person who made it.  To prevent this, the sign in the avatar was created...only the fact that people can't read the part about the bridge being out ahead kind of ruins the point of making the sign.

You know, I should make a sign like that, and put it up somewhere....now THAT would be funny!!!

You would probably be able to read it normally, I had to resize it otherwise it wouldve been too big for my avatar.

...I don't know.  You might be able to read it when you're walking past it, but I doubt anyone who's driving will catch the bit about the bridge.  They'll find out sooner or later anyhow...heck, I don't see why the people wouldn't just close the stupid road.

Okay. A closer look at it.

1st look: That's typical 4chan stuff!
2nd look: Seems really like Photoshop. The colour of the sign around the text is slightly brighter than the rest.
3rd look: 2nd look could also be possible because of the low quality.
4th look: The quality is too bad.
5th look: The sign doesn't even have sharp edges. They are rounded.
6th look: This sign is just too weird.

edit:// better versions:

Looking at the second pic:
The quality of the text is just too good.
--> Photoshop.

edit2:// and there are some differences in the brightness between the upper and the lower text. If the pic would be a real photo I don't think they would be there.

Case closed due to the evidence found by other members and myself.

CONCLUSION: &#A0;Sign is not real.

Well...we all knew that already anyway, but no one came out and literally said "The sign is not real".
