It might surprise you to find out that stupid people can be found on every continent (except Antarctica), not just here at home. Even more surprising, that rampant idiocy can actually sneak its way into the government at nearly every level. I know what you’re thinking: stupid people in the government? Preposterous! But it’s true! Dummies are everywhere, and sometimes they’re even in charge of some really important stuff. Thankfully, this list isn’t about the stupid people who run the government, it’s the about the idiots in charge of the world’s signage. Here are 17 incredibly stupid road signs scattered across the globe that you probably don’t want to follow. Enjoy!

2. Not In Use
Quick, look away! In this small town in the United Kingdom, you might get hit with a fine if you’re using government property that’s not currently meant to be used. It’s hard to determine if this is a friendly warning or a calculated trap, though …
3. Simon Says
Here are some people who really take their safety seriously. For all the times you’ve carelessly blown through a stop sign without a second thought, this sign really means stop. After all, Simon said to stop and any grade schooler knows that dude means business.
