Motorists travelling around the US state of Maine over the holiday weekend were treated to the creative of residents who made their own warning signs.

Drivers were shown billboards reading: A Cold Suppah Is Bettah Thana Hot Ticket; Spend Money on Lobstahs - Not Speeding Tickets and another reading Put Down UR Cell - Or You May End Up In One.

The signs are part of contest run by the Maine Department of Transportation, with six winners selected out of nearly 2,000 entries.
