In Christchurch, New Zealand’s second-largest city, six unusual signs have popped up around the city center. Created by artist Cameron Hunt, these signs look official but carry odd messages like “slightly haunted but manageable” and a walking speed limit of 2.83 km/h. One sign simply says “don’t.” Hunt said the idea was to make signs that look real but have absurd messages. This mix causes confusion followed by joy. The signs were installed as part of the Little Street art festival earlier this month. “Watching people interact with the signs has been awesome,” Hunt told The Guardian. “There have also been a few grumpy people who’ve joked about writing to the council about these ‘ridiculous signs’.” The Christchurch city council, however, loves the project. Kiri Jarden, the council’s principal adviser for community arts, called the signs “truly delightful” and said they support artists using humor to engage the public. The signs have become popular for photos and social media posts. Some visitors even treat them as a fun treasure hunt. When people show confusion online, others quickly explain the signs are playful art. One Reddit user questioned if the 2.83 km/h walking speed sign was real, saying, “I’m naturally a fast walker so a bit concerned.” Replies varied from questioning the art to applauding it as a great guerrilla art piece. Hunt hopes the signs make people pause and notice their surroundings. He said each sign creates a small, interactive moment that sparks curiosity and conversation in ways murals or graffiti cannot.
