Caution! Scantily-clad hazard ahead:
Italian prostitutes get own road sign to warn motorists
3rd April 2010[/align]
The experienced motorist will have seen a multitude of road signs warning of children crossing, elderly pedestrians and wildlife. But the one above would surely prompt a second glance.
Some might say that the image of a well-endowed woman in mini-skirt and high heels is, in itself, a hazard. Giovanni Azzolini, mayor of Mogliano in the Italian province of Treviso, however is determined to use every means to fight the growing number of prostitutes – often transsexuals – who line the streets at night.
‘I will not leave any citizen alone to combat this phenomenon, which has by now surpassed any level of tolerability,’ he said. He added that some motorists were having accidents after being distracted by scantily-dressed hookers. In addition to the signs, police patrols are being stepped up. Both prostitutes and their customers face large fines if caught.

Sign Of The Times: Shitterton Hits Back
July 23, 2010
Graham Fitzgerald,

A group of residents in Dorset have taken action against souvenir hunters who keep taking their village sign. They have chipped in £20 each to buy a chunk of Purbeck stone and had the name Shitterton engraved on it. As the stone weighs well over a ton they are confident it will make future pranksters think twice before attempting to remove it.
Ian Ventham, chairman of the parish council, said: "Every two or three years somebody comes along and nicks our sign because, clearly, Shitterton is amusing. We think it was kids who would like to have it stuck on the wall in a den somewhere. We thought, 'Let's put in a ton and a half of stone and see them try and take that away in the back of a Ford Fiesta'."
"I don't think it was malicious, they just did it for fun, but it was exasperating for us. We would get a nice new shiny sign from the council and five minutes later, it was gone." Mr Ventham said it was his wife Diana's idea to carve a sign out of stone. "We thought, 'Let's put in a ton and a half of stone and see them try and take that away in the back of a Ford Fiesta'."
Mr Ventham, a retired RNLI director, wrote to neighbours asking them to give £20 towards the cost of the new sign. Of 50 households, well over half obliged. After being told of the plan, Purbeck district council donated an extra £70.
