A man and woman are driving down the road. They are passing a lot of columns on the side of the road.
The columns are all shaped like Roman numerals.
Is the road telling time?
If you think this is annoying, just wait. In a few miles, they switch to binary.

The road signs here are in roman numerals, which are notoriously difficult to read. However, on this unusual road, the signs get even more difficult to read, because, according to the female passenger, the numbers will soon be binary, i.e., sequences of ones and zeros that are difficult to immediately translate into values for the driver.
