Your perception of stop and yield signs will forever be changed after you've seen all of these creative street sign modifications. Most people see a street sign and think of it only as a symbol of authority or a target for paintballs and eggs; a select few see those same signs and see an opportunity to create something great.
"Something great" can be defined as a "No Dumping" chair or a social commentary sign a la Trustocorp. Upcycling and social statements are two of the recurring themes found amongst almost all of these creative street sign modifications. Stimulate your creative side by clicking through all of these ingeniously modified and/or upcycled signs today. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at a street sign again without thinking of Michael Jackson.
