Beautiful Photos of Street Signage
When we see the ‘Stop’ sign as we drive, we know reflexively that we need to stop or we might end up in a car accident. Such connections are vital to our everyday lives. We know what to expect when we see signage, and consciously or subconsciously, what we get from the signage helps us make decisions. Advertisements, traffic, and information signs are just some of the most common daily.
Given the significance of the signages we see, some photographers have taken the initiative of snapping away memorable ones to celebrate their aesthetic value. As we always do in Hongkiat.com, we have combed the net to give our loyal readers a few of these awesome shots. To be exact, we have 20 fine signages to share with you today.
