Craziest and Coolest Graffiti on Street Signs

If you’re driving or biking around town, gazing out the window on the bus, or taking a leisurely stroll with you dog, when you come across a red and white “STOP” sign, you see a stop sign — no more, no less. But when visually creative people and artists see a stop sign, they see endless possibilities. Here are some of the craziest and coolest graffiti on street signs out there.

This Way to Love

French street artist Clet Abraham has sprinkled his work on signs around South London, Florence, and beyond. He has incurred multiple fines for his art.

The Classic

Though many of us find these altered street signs amusing and incredibly creative and cool, not everyone feels the same way. Street artists catch a lot of heat for their pieces. For our sake, we hope they keep up the good work — nothing makes you smile on a crappy day like surprise art.
