Hazardous, How So?

December 30, 2024

I am not sure what happened in the image on the sign, but if you are on a bike, you may want to avoid this bridge.

Nothing says “welcome to danger” quite like a road sign that warns of a “Hazardous Bridge Ahead” but instead of a typical cautionary symbol, it features a broken bicycle, its front wheel mangled beyond recognition, flipping through the air as the rider plummets helplessly into a pile of rocks. It’s as if the person who designed the sign skipped subtlety altogether and went straight for chaos. You’d expect a simple “Slippery When Wet” icon, but instead, you get an illustrated tragedy that looks like it belongs in a cartoon where gravity always wins.

The real kicker is the message it sends: this bridge isn’t just a little hazardous—it’s life-changingly dangerous. The poor cyclist depicted didn’t just lose balance; they got launched like they were competing in an extreme sports blooper reel. It’s almost as if the sign is saying, “Turn back now, unless you’re auditioning for a role in Jackass.” And honestly, if you’re brave enough to cross that bridge after seeing this visual nightmare, you probably deserve a medal—or at least a GoPro to document your inevitable wipeout.
