“Slow Around The Bend, Friend”

I think India hired Dr. Seuss to write traffic signs for mountain roads. They usually rhyme and read like children’s poems. Some of my favorites:

“Hurry Makes Worry”
“If You Are Married, Divorce Speed”
“Slow Around The Bend, Friend”
“Speed Thrills, But Kills”
“Mountains Are a Pleasure Only if You Drive With Leisure”
“Eager To Last? Then Why Fast?”
“This is Highway, Not Runway”
“Slow and Steady Wins the Race”
“For Safe Arriving, No Liquor in Driving”
“After Whiskey, Driving is Risky”
“If You Drive Like Hell, You Will Reach There Soon”

Those are real signs. REAL SIGNS! :) I love India!

Here are a couple of pictures I took from the window of our jeep as we drove up to the trail head:

They were building the road before our eyes:

    Those are terrfific!
    Just the kind of saying that people will pay attention to and then remember…
    Different cultures let us see how things can be done so differently… That’s so cool…
