Street Signs

I've been traveling to Tianjin rather frequently lately, mostly for work. It's time for another installment of Stuff I Saw While Traveling at 140 Km/Hr. This time, we'll be focusing on street signs.

DO NOT DRIVE TIREDLY
Overlooking the amusing phrasing of this warning, i'm more intrigued by the illustration. I continue to read the comics EVERYDAY, and have been doing so for the last 4 years. I was not aware that empty thought balloons were a universal sign for feeling tiredly. Also, the mostly featureless face and lack of hands kinda freaks me out.

Still, i'm not convinced this is the most accurate caption. I offer the following alternatives:
  • "Feed me, Seymour."
  • "Ms. Pac Man, I love you too. Let us now kiss."
  • "Pizza! My favorite! OM NOM NOM NOM OM NOM"
CHANGE LANE / NOTICE BEHIND
Step 1. Decide to Change Lane
Step 1a. Do so Without Turn Signal
Step 2. Notice Behind
Step 2a. Contemplate that Behind
