Don’t worry, they’re planning to widen the road. Eventually.

Visit my site to read my newly published story, “Ragnarok.”
no
budget cuts
enough paint, and the grass will *stop* growing
erm…narrow road?…Deep country side?
hmm.. left side?… England?
Middle of the road?… err.. ok you got me on that one, no crossing of anykind?
South Africa
What? you got all that from that picture. I can see the narrow road, but i cant see the rest.
Strange guy in a giant chicken suit ahead.
I can see this. Probably has a fixed-size template for the “STOP”, and his boss told him to paint stop there. You don’t get anywhere arguing with the boss.
Perhaps the same boss who wanted all the outdated binders alphabetized before the contents were sent out for shredding?
(Yes, it happened. To me. Fun fun fun.)
ROFLMFAO
Its so the shredder machine didnt get confused.
It’s not that funny. Really.
I doubt you are rolling on the floor laughing your MF ass off.
Really. It’s not that funny.
And to everyone else, those are clippings that got painted on.
Hey, I think I used to work there too…
Enron?
I assume your boss huffs glue?

” o ne ill ver now he ifference,” thought the fledgling painter.

Wow…thanksforautomaticallyremovingalloftheextraspacesinmycomment,website!YouknowbetterthanmewhatIreallyneededandwhatIapparentlydidn’t.
That’s not the website, that’s how HTML is interpreted according to the standard (all contiguous whitespace collapses into a single space).
Doesn’t look like a kludge to me. Funny though!
After the grass grows it will read “TOP”! I don’t know how drivers will interpret that?!?!
If you are drunk and on the wrong side of the road when HOT FUZZ gets you, just tell him “I didn’t see the TOP sign”.
What will happen when the paint on the grass comes off? TOP!
He could have saved space by merging the right side of the letter ‘T’ in the ‘O’, and the left side of the ‘P’ in the ‘O’ as well. That way the ‘S’ would fit on the road as well.
The result would be a very tight stop
Nah…… it would fall short and merely be a half-essed stop
Your ess is grass, mister.
Top this!
Two miles south, the “railroad crossing” sign streches thirty meters into the field.
LMAO!
Thanks. Now I have cola all over my screen …
LOL….
Now we can watch paint drying AND grass growing, at the same time!
Good one there.
That would cut all my goofin’ around time in half. Huh. Not sure how I feel about that. You’re not with the union, I can tell.
Fear not…….. the guard rail in the foreground appears to be rusting nicely – you could pick up the extra time watching it and get a union bonus for taking on more responsibility.
In a few years time, this will be top!
Stop what?
This could never happen in the U.S.of A. , they’re on the wrong side of the road
Yeah, we’ll have “STO” and then P in the grass.
Please don’t P in the grass.
FAIL-erific win!
Well, then where would we go TO?
The STO, of course.
Use a tree that’s what the upside down T means.
.ǝnɹʇ os’ǝnɹʇ
^^^ that was awesome
It could be in U.S., if this is the guy who used to paint the football field but got fired for striping it lengthwise. He can’t seem to give up painting the grass, and now that he’s found work painting the road, it’s always on the wrong side of the street and/or facing the wrong direction. Damn head injury. Shoulda worn a helmet.
I was thinking maybe it was a budget cut thing, combine road paint with field paint.. like GO FALCONSTOP!
If they can’t plan it enough to get the whole 4-letter word on the pavement, I wouldn’t put it past them to also put it on the wrong side of the road. It could quite possibly be in the US.
its not a road. prolly a race. and that is the finish line.
in the ame of ove.
Looks to me like the grass was recently mowed and blown onto the road, while they were painting it.
Reminds me of the trick question:
Q: How do you top a car?
A: Tep on the brake, tupid!
LOL!!!!! out-tanding!!!
Maybe he orignally did it to let everyone know that it’s the top of the road, just in case there are any of those same people that need “HOT” on their coffee.
This originally was the landmark of the “Tour The France” cycling race to notify the riders that this was the highest point of the mountain climbing stage.
Someone just couldn’t resist the temptation of a practical joke!
.
O’ Tay
tour “the” france? you mean tour de france??? as in tour OF france?
I suspect this of being artificially created using graphic manipulation software, or ‘shopped!
*yawn*
Yeah, it seems ridiculously fake.
If this is a senior prank painted up the street from the local high school, look out grads! It appears that one of you dropped your wallet when you fled the scene.
Time to switch to Helvetica extra extra condensed.
They are never going to be able to fit “BOTTOM” on the other end.
Is it worse that he placed the stencil partly on grass, or that he painted “stop” on the shoulder? Going the wrong way?
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that this was one of those “saved or created” Porkulus jobs.
STOP! In the name of the lawn!
And what’s up with the left side of the road?
If I recall, in the UK, the stop bars are more complex…
I don’t think that’s green.
Everything looks great until the guy with the lawnmower cuts the grass next week and we are back to TOP
It looks like the road used to be wide enough, but the vegetation is taking over. I’ve seen that happen with sidewalks, but never with a road. Vehicle traffic beats the grass back pretty quickly. Could that be a pedestrian trail?
Someone should use a flat shovel to separate the vegetation from the road surface. Then they can call “S” man back to fix the ‘top sign.
That’s tops. Well done.
“Sorry, boss, the road moved while we were painting.”
Looks fake to me. There should be a crossroads. If it was a real stop sign, you should see the road crossing on the top of the picture… Maybe they just reharsed painting on an unused portion of road ?
I can see confused hippies coming from the other direction looking for the pot in the road.
One size stencil Does not fit ALL roads
