There is a guy who finds our traffic signs too dull and has devised a way to lighten them up with a few well placed and undamaging stickers.
The mind behind this is the French artist Clet Abraham, actually a Breton from Quimper, who lives and works in Florence.
He has already “treated” signs in several cities across Europe and last week he happened to be in our town, leaving us with a few of his funny works.Search labels: Clet Abraham

I absolutely LOVE this...signs can be so monotonously dull...but not when touched by the humorous mind of Mr. Abraham!
Thank you for the photos!
Very creative man, Mr.Clet! May be the drivers will better obey if they look at this kind of signs. It's great you brought these to us!
Brilliant.
a great place where alike is possible.
please have a good new week ahead.
How creative!
I like his creativity.
Hah! These are funny.
These are wonderful!
Very creative! Love this kind of art!
To avoid any misunderstanding, I called Mr. Abraham an artist for his line of work, not because he puts funny stickers on traffic signs. This is only a good and harmless way to publicize himself.
Very clever! and fun! I hope the city does not peel off the stickers very soon.
Hahaha.... brilliant are funny!!
