Whenever I see one of these signs I have a mental picture of a large & heavy cabbage or similar crossing the road. I am sure using the word 'machinery' would make more sense to the average motorist, especially tourists.[Feb 2006 - Hertfordshire]
David Williams found this one that a heavy plant had obviously crossed, causing significant damage!

I always expect to see a triffid shambling across the road...
Can anyone say, "Day of the Triffids" ????
I agree, I would rather imagine a large eggplant perhaps?
Ciao
ps love your blog site.
Yes but a large and heavy cabbage tramping its bulky self across the road is ten times the fun imagery that "machinery" would evoke.
Ents around? :)
Yes, you're right. According to the sign I'd be on the lookout for a humongous eggplant or pumpkin.
:-D
Very witty blog theme by the way! I'll be visiting often.
That one gave me a chuckle. :D Fun blog. I might have a few signs to contribute...

That's called semiopathy - deriving a meaning from a sign for which it was not originally intended:

I could see a herd of eggplant. I try to visit one new site a day and I found yours. Great site! I'm book marking it. I need a good laugh each day thanks for gining us one.

That's hilarious! I can just imagine a bunch of veggies and plants running around.
