Here’s My Law: Dead End Signs
You’re driving somewhere, and you decide to turn down a side road. As you’re finishing up the turn, you see the annoying yellow sign that says “Dead End” and you smack the wheel as you pick out a spot to turn around.

Is this really the best warning we can come up with for a dead end street? What good is a warning sign that only warns you after it’s already too late? It’s really just a bad news sign, and it barely serves any purpose at all. Actually, if you look closely, at the bottom of every Dead End sign, it says “HAAAAAAAAAAA!”
All of these signs should be taken down, and the street sign for that particular street should be turned yellow (instead of green) and have a dead end warning on the end of the sign. This way, you would know that street is a dead end before you make the turn, and there will be half as many signs on the road.

Update: Thanks Kwazzi for sharing theseĀ pictures. Apparently somewhere out there people have the luxury of enjoying these signs already!
