I found this photo on Flickr of a road sign in Mexico. I believe it is an example of culturally-laden signage. Taxco, Mexico is probably the only place in the world where you find a sign indicating that elephants, caves and perhaps a rodeo all lie ahead. Each image clearly represents the location or event without any words and indicates something about the culture of the area. After doing a quick Google search about Taxco, I found that the sign communicates successfully:For a safari-type expedition, Zoofari, located 30 minutes north of the city, offers the opportunity to experience close encounters with elephants, zebras, elks, llamas, ostriches and other free-roaming animals. Nearby are the Cacahuamilpa Caverns with their impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations. http://www.visitmexico.com.mx/wb/press/pres_taxco
