As a kid, I wondered why my parents would continue driving past those without even flinching.
“Bridge Ices Before Road”
I originally took this “before” spatially, as like “in front of”. So the bridge ices in a very particular spot — just before the bridge ends and your route becomes road again.
Reminds me of me as a kid getting upset with my grandmother once for taking a sip from her water bottle while driving, because I had heard from so many tv ads that “drinking while driving” was highly illegal.
I’ve always read that sign this way.
Also misunderstood:
“Do Not Pass” (and “Pass With Caution”)

Sounds like you were destined to be a technical writer.
When I was young the No Passing signs being on the opposite side of the road seemed odd, but no adult I asked knew why.
Eventually figured out it was on the opposite side so a car that is passing can see the sign.
