When I visited England about 5 years ago, I noticed the plethora of roadway signs. There are warning signs for everything: deer crossing, duck crossing, rabbit crossing, frog crossing, tank crossing, Dalek crossing (I'm not kidding). There are even warning signs for warning signs:

Me: What are the bumps for?
Sign w/ bumps: "Warning, reduce speed to enter roundabout"
Me: Sheesh...
