What signs might you see driving around Middle Earth, say entering Mirkwood, approaching Beorn's compound, gassing-up near Gondor--especially those electronic signboards that cycle through several messages (although the old fashioned board-on-a -stick would work too[sly]).

Winner receives a horse-cart (you were expecting a Ferari?[]).

"you shall not past"

Another one might be "no other way"

Or instead of "detour" it would be "shortcut".

There wouldn't be a car pool it would be a worker moot.

In Moria those cool yellow and black signs would have a Balrog on it.

Just inside The Black Gates would be a "no turn around" sign.

At the base of Amon Sûl would be this large sign with text about the origins of the tower and what it was like in it's prime.

The Bridge of Khazad-dum would have truck weight limits posted on either end.

I'll add to that some warning signs:

No Excavating the Barrow Mounds

Do Not Feed the Watcher

Eagle Flight Path - Hard Hats Required []

 

[taekotemple]

I think Isengard needs some signs as well, after the havoc the Ents wreaked upon it.

-Ent X-ing

-Trespassers will be zapped

....when I saw 'You shall not pass!' Thanks for starting my day with a chuckle!

Years ago, I actually had someone ask me, 'how do deers know where to cross?"[shocked]

For the Shire!!

Dwarves just don't get it...

Neither do out-of-towners who take the wrong turn...

Then there's the universal sign...
