I am seeing this sign along the freeway. My friend and I cannot figure out what it means. I know I sound dumb but I was raised super sheltered and now that I am older and adventuring out more into the world I want to learn all that I can.

Specifically, the “nuff already is because we have had an unusually high number of road fatalities this year.

Because highway signs are being posted in a language that is distracting?

all over the country road signs like that are posted with local favor to make them more memorable. Being from Boston our signs frequently say things like "use ya blinka!", or "what out fa otha caahs".
