Prostitutes sign confuses motorists

A road sign warning of prostitutes is confusing motorists in a north Italian town. The red-bordered triangular sign shows a scantily-clad woman, who is also carrying a handbag, in the city of Treviso.

The sign states 'Attenzione Prostitute' - seemingly warning people of prostitutes in the area. Motorists and pedestrians have complained that the sign is 'confusing', saying they don't know if it means to watch out for crossing hookers or if it means prostitutes operate in the area.



One local Dino Vezino, 34, said: "I was driving in to work and saw this sign and had to slow down to get a proper look. I couldn't believe it - the woman has a mini-skirt and high heels on and very big breasts.

"I just couldn't work out what it was for? Does it mean I have to look out for prostitutes crossing or that they are available around here?"

A triangle with red borders is a warning sign, so it's purpose seems obvious to me. They don't want motorists to run over prostitutes.
