Gotta love the Italians

Road sign in Treviso, Italy:

A 'prostitute warning' sign has appeared in Treviso, Italy, puzzling the town's motorists.
The red-bordered triangular warning sign features the silhouette of a large-breasted woman in high heels and a mini skirt, carrying a hand-bag.

Aside from generating - presumably - plenty of wolf whistles from passing 'gents loo' and 'men at work' road sign silhouettes, the warning is also creating plenty of confusion in Treviso.

The sign reads 'attenzione prostitute', but whether it is advising local drivers to look out for prostitutes crossing the road, or that they simply operate in the area, is entirely unclear.

"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," local resident Dino Vezino told the Telegraph. "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?"

And yes, we are now well into April...
