Once upon a time, Texas was a no man’s land, but today it’s no longer the land of cowboys and outlaws we’re used to imagining when thinking of Texas. It is one of the biggest states in the U.S, and as such, it’s very diverse; there’s a big difference between the large metropolitan cities of Texas and its rural areas. Yet, countless stereotypes exist about Texas, many of which are far from reality, but some of them are here to stay. We’ve gathered 50+ funny roadsigns you can find only in Texas, that illustrate these stereotypes in a humorous way.
Have a drink
If there’s one thing Texans like, it’s beer. Can anybody argue with that? True, not only Texans enjoy a cold beer or two at the end of a long day, but this is the kind of sign you will see only in Texas. There’s nothing like integrating our favorite drink in a funny simile; the people at El Arroyo know how to lure a crowd.
El Arroyo has some of the most hilarious signs you can find across the U.S, and it’s worth the trip just to be amazed by these signs and have a good laugh. If you don’t feel like visiting the state of mosquitoes and humidity (it doesn’t sound too tempting put like this), you can always follow then on Instagram or Facebook like the sign suggests, and enjoy your daily dose of creative Texas signs.
Hitchhiking
This is a warning you don’t see everyday, and another great example of a sign you can find only in Texas. Perhaps it’s because the prisoners in Texas are less fearful, or otherwise the security at the Texas prison is not as good (though that seems like an unlikely option), whatever the reason – this is one of those signs you can find only in Texas.
But joking aside, this is an extremely important warning – we all enjoyed watching the show Prison Break (and if you haven’t already, we warmly recommend it), but no one wants to find themselves an accomplice to a prison break after innocently picking up a hitchhiker!
