The unique terrain of Vernon County is the direct result of being by missed by the glaciers of the past. Thus being untouched and un-glaciated, our landscape of ridge tops and the hidden valleys has remained relatively intact. Of course, when you have hilly terrain you get zigzagging country roads. With lots of twists and lots of turns, our roads are popular with tourist, motorcyclist, and bicyclist. Many flock here to ride these roads, like amateur Mario Andretti's they go whizzing by. Harley bikers, Corvette club outing, and even luxury car clubs with Lamborghini's, Jaguar's and Ferrari's come here for their country road rallies. Why... because there are no stoplights, no traffic, no cops and there are... yep, super winding roads.
Beware however, it is easy to get lost here as things aren't all that well marked. If you make a wrong turn, don't be surprised if after about 20 minutes of zooming from one curve to next curve you might get totally turned around and end up emerging from this unintended maze back at the point of the beginning where you missed your turn. If that is not dreadful enough, many of the roads don't seem to be very well mapped out yet, so using GPS might also be somewhat futile. Nonetheless, getting to the point of my post, it is really about street signs. Now I had been driving these roads for years and years. Even I, every now and then, manage to get lost. Not because I don't know my way around here, but because someone must be dyslexic in the department that installs our street signs
As far as I am concerned street signs should always be placed perpendicular to the street it names. Somewhere there must be a rule or a codebook that plainly spells this out? It clearly would say: "All road sign names should be place in the same direction as the road runs." Otherwise when I get to that T intersection, maybe I should be making a U turn? Help me please, I may be lost in Vernon County!

Hi Mary,
Sounds like an interesting area to live and visit. I depend on street signs so I would hope those that install them do it properly.
Mary,
I read this and had to laugh-the only place worse than Wisconsin for this kind of thing is Pennsylvania-if you get out at the intersection, you can usually find the sign in the ditch!

Hi Steve, that would be bad, then you would not even know what street you are on! Thanks for the comment.
I had to laugh at this one...Austin is notorious for NO street sign. If it wasn't for my navigation system sometimes...I would hours trying to find something.
How frustrating....can you imaging if you are late and can't get to where you are going. It is funny, by the way, I would be one of the ones who got lost even if I was familiar with the area. LOL!
Thanks Sherry and Terrie for reading and commenting, I am happy to know others feel my frustration on this!
