Prostitutes and Drunks Road Signs

You must love those latin-blooded people from Italy and Romania... We mean, how many of you anglo-saxons would have ever come up with this? Traffic signs warning motorists of the presence of prostitutes and drunks...

Italy: one of the places to be in Europe for those in need of a cheap "quickie." Problem is, prostitution is still outlawed here, so it's not easy to find a lady when you need one...

Enter the city of Treviso and the "attenzione prostitute" road sign (loosely translated, "warning, prostitutes")... To this day, nobody really knows what the sign means. Should you be careful, as prostitutes are know to be crossing the street in the area? Should you be on the lookout for one,
'cause here's where they work? Get you money ready? Or maybe the sign if for police-use purposes, you know, so they remember where to find the girls?

Fact is, since the sign is up, tens of cars cue up every night here. And wait...

Romania: one of the places to be if in need for a good drink ('cause most Romanian prostitutes work in Italy...). Good thing drinking isn't outlawed here. Still, running over drunk citizens is...

Enter the city of Pecica and the "cetateni turmentati" sign (loosely translated "warning, drunk citizens")... Unlike the Treviso sign, this one is clear: drivers beware of all humans moving on all fours. They're drunk and shouldn't be trusted. They are known for jumping in front of a car to say "Hellooo, strang...SQUASH!"
