Broken: Intersection sign
Todd Stripling writes from Norcross, Georgia:
I took this picture at the intersection of Rogers Bridge Road and Bell Road in North Fulton County, Georgia.
Amusing at first glance, but I'll bet it's not as silly as it seems. My guess is two unrelated messages.
The bottom sign is referring to the fact that this is a T intersection. 'You must turn right or left here'.
Independently, vehicles may be approaching from the right, that are not easily visible.
I'll bet the 'from the right' was added after the fact, and there was no room to put it with the top sign.
It's a screwy intersection without the signs. I've seen many a fender bender there because people can't seem to understand the concept of *that* particular instersection for some reason.

Most people already don't even know their left from right. Poor people, they must be so confused...
