Peculiar Traffic Sign in Bengaluru Goes Viral for Humorous Misinterpretation

A traffic sign designed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in Bengaluru has unexpectedly garnered social media attention due to a humorous misinterpretation. The sign, displaying the directive “Follow Someone Home,” caused drivers to do a double-take, leading to confusion and subsequent viral sharing online. However, upon closer inspection, the full message reads, “Follow traffic rules. Someone is waiting at home for you,” intended as a thoughtful safety reminder. The discrepancy in font sizes between the initial directive and the rest of the message contributed to the confusion, sparking both amusement and curiosity among passersby.

Posted on X by user Sumukh Rao, the peculiar traffic sign near Cubbon Park has captured the interest of netizens, with many expressing amusement and incredulity at its design. The internet quickly turned the blunder into a humorous online conversation, with users joking about the perceived implications of the sign’s initial directive.

One user quipped, “Boys be like: we don’t need any instructions to do what we usually do.”

Another user commented on X, “Authorities and their script writers completely out of sync in terms of requirements and functionality.”

The sign’s unintended viral fame has led to it being dubbed “meme-worthy material” by some users, with others humorously remarking on its potentially misleading message, such as, “Follow someone home. Sounds creepy,” and “They are promoting something else.”

Despite the well-meaning intention behind the traffic sign, its peculiar design choice has turned it into an unexpected source of entertainment and online engagement.
