But that connotation changes when the sign says "Deer", 'cause deer tend not to fall into the road. Then there's one with a picture of a firetruck. I hope I'm not driving by when one o' them suckers drops into the road.

Hey I would, too :-)

Just wondering Brunnen-G, are your road signs given in international pictograms like in Quebec? Our "Caution: Deer crossing" sign has the graceful black silhouette of a leaping whitetail, for example. I know you mentioned ferrying a "sharp turn ahead" warning sign back to shore, and that it was a bent arrow picture, the same way I know it. Cool.
