Macaco de perigo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Macaco de perigo (Portuguese for "Danger Monkey") is a symbol that appears on unauthorized signage in certain transit corridors around Boston, MA.
The meaning and purpose of these signs is not readily apparent. It is unknown if these signs are related to the "MO NKEY MONKEY <===>" signs found at some intersections in the same areas.
