The following sign I had spotted in Viman Nagar, Pune. That time the lane was declared NO PARKING by traffic police and boards came up within a couple of days. Being an official sign it should not have spelling mistakes.

For non-maharashtrians, "VAAHNE" means vehicles. But this board says "VAAVNE" which is wrong.

Yes yes..Its good that God wants to save us, but I don't see why the "YouTube" logo had to be dragged in!

Now the standard of English spellings is dropping on iOS also.
Look at the advertisement below-
Android mobail (this might be intentional)
Angary birds!?!
Downloding!!!!

Looks like a disaster to me!

If you still cannot spot it, check the distance in front of Lonavla, its only 33 km

from Kalyan.

By the way, I didn't understand anything from the pic

. Can someone explain?

That is the 2nd Hoogly bridge in Kolkata. Not Bandra Worli Sea link !!

There is a small speed breaker -- at the place where the repairing is being done and thus the HUMP SLOW as in " drive slow, speed breaker ahead"

The bridge-makers or municipal corporation handing out some free public-interest advice?

Our country is a gold-mine of grammatical faux pas.

Ohhhh

. I knew only one meaning and its as follows:

1. A rounded mass or protuberance, such as the fleshy structure on the back of a camel or of some cattle.

Here's another one found via google:

A rounded raised mass of earth or land: they sat on a hump of cropped grass

Forgive me pals.

You missed it by a mile! You did not follow the instructions to the letter!

Nevermind, have sent you the correct link by email (couldn't post it on the forum)

I had to think hard about this one, although I was realising that road signs offering advice on one's love life might be considered unusual just before I read your post.

How about "Use Dipper At Night?" But I don't have a photo, so maybe this one is a myth.

I used to see travelogues with suggestive warning signs, like go easy on my curves from the mountain roads. Do they still exist?
