New Zealand Road Signs

On our travels through NZ we found some very interesting road signs.  This post is to share some of those with you.

Astrid & I love canoeing, so to find the 'Place of the Canoe', we thought that was pretty cool.  Unfortunately this "town" (read: tiny ass hamlet) was hardly worth the wood this sign was created from, and we powered through in about 48 seconds :)

This sign is awesome.  While simultaneously reminding you of the 100km speed limit, it informs you of a windy road for 7km.  They should combine the two signs into one that reads:  "Windy ass road for 7kms.  The limit is 100, but aint no way you gonna reach that, so consider this the Kiwi Autobahn'.

This is one of the numerous 'dont speed' signs in NZ that are mildly humourous.

This is the coolest bus shelter I've ever seen.  Painted in both South Park and The Simpsons, you can rest assured your kids will wait for the bus while reinforcing the bad habits and manners they learn from the telly.

I've seen a lot of wildlife signs in my day, but this one is just plain cool.

Not really a road sign as such, but worth an honourable mention.  This is located in the supermarket parking lot -- apparently shopping carts are referred to as 'Trundlers'.
