    They should have written the sign in braille, too, so blind people could read it.

      Ah, but it's cleverly positioned so they get the message anyway.

    The public signage which always made me chuckle was the one for "tourist information" used in some of the cities I've visited.

    The sign is a big question mark with an arrow pointing off in some direction.

    I actually had to follow one of them to figure out what the heck it was all about, and found myself up the street standing in front of a tourist information bureau, thinking, "Ah. But golly, that's hardly intuitive!"

      All of the tourist information centers in Australian cities (as far as I know) are indicated by an italic i in some serif font or other. Useful for tourists if they ever bother to find out what that funny i thing means.
