No fireworks in Marbella
You wonder what event caused them to put up this sign (in the Marina at Marbella).

No fishing at Evesham
Not strictly a roadsign. The fish looks so round and succulent that it looks more likely to encourage poaching than discourage it. Calling it theft seems a little over the top. I wonder who actually owns fishing rights at the lockside on the river Avon.
The other languages besides English seem to be Polish and Bulgarian.
Cars get towed away at Arles
The sign itself is a little bland but the drawings of the car and the towaway truck underneath are special. Is that an old Peugeot car? This is outside the bullring.
French lorry No-overtaking I
No indicators at all on French signs.
Photograph taken October 2014 on the A41 near Grenoble.
Riverside on the Loire at St. Rémy la Varenne
Not sure if this is meant to be an open-top or convertible car (safer if it goes in the river) or whether it has just faded.
Tanker at Blaison-Gohier
Not sure what is forbidden here. Driving tankers full of red liquids into the river?
Bumpy road in Málaga
The disused train tracks cross the road at a diagonal here, so I thought it was an extra special warning to cyclists that they could get thrown in the air, but I’m not so sure.
French quayside at Port Correjou
French cars (falling in water) seem longer than British cars.
Lorries banned from Usk
This pair of signs signal that lorries are banned from the centre of Usk, (specifically I think from the bridge over the river Usk) and that they use satellite technology to enforce it. How that works, I don’t know. Is there real-time surveillance from satellites so that they could catch the lorry in the act? Can satellites read registration plates if they are directly above the vehicle?
Lorry in San Roque
This is a bit more stylish than the standard Spanish lorry.
