Where it’s Located: Fresno, California
Official Meaning of Sign: You can only turn left if there isn’t much traffic on a street called “Aviation.”
Unofficial Meaning of Sign to Us: As this photo is near the airport, if you don’t know “Aviation St.” is a thoroughfare, the sign means “look up to see how many planes are landing or taking off before attempting a left.” If you know “Aviation” is a road try explaining to the police officer what your definition of “very light” is.

Official Meaning of Sign: The right three lanes are open during rush hour, the right line is only open from 3:30 pm to 9:30 pm except for that period between 6:30 in the morning and 9:30 at night. The right two lanes are open from 9:30 pm to 6:30 am. The far left lane is lava (we think).
Unofficial Meaning of Sign to Us: City planners in the District of Columbia either do not understand the difference between am and pm or it’s up to drivers to guess which lanes are open when. The far left lane is lava (yeah, we’re sticking to this).
Where it’s Located: Washington, D.C.
Official Meaning of Sign: Trucks over 10,000 pounds are not permitted to turn around — maybe?
