- I saw this while going through a village in the Massif Central of
- France a few years ago. The road was branching off in two directions,
- and there was this helpful sign for the clueless traveller (my
- translation):

- +----------------------+

- +----------------------+

- | OTHER DIRECTIONS |

- After a second of hesitation, I picked the left branch, which was of
- course the right one.
