All roads really do lead to Rome

This week: a picture to accompany our road sign stories: ‘I promise this has NOT been Photoshopped,’ says Andrew Miller. ‘If anyone doubts it, the sign is in Deruta, near Perugia.’

Further afield, Graham Manning at the Stationery Office writes to say: ‘It is not just India that has interesting road signs – while travelling along the Athi River highway in Kenya we saw a two-metre-high sign that said: “Take Notice: When this sign is underwater, this road is impassable”.’
