Road Safety Signs have never stopped to baffle me. Some of them are outright indecipherable, others misleading and many, a big laugh. One of them that comes to my mind right now and that can be seen all over the place is the one which ironically says "Left is right!" How true, if you take that literally. In some countries vehicles ply on the left, in others on the right, in some hot countries, they drive in the shade, I have heard, and in India they have the choice to drive either on the left or on the right based on convenience.
If the traffic police really endorsed the left=right equation, no wonder one has this chaotic situation on our roads.
Yet another quizzical road sign says "Speed has five letters, so has death!" Well so has "birth", I think, sarcastically.
Is the traffic police in our country so completely void of humour that they can't come up with a few witty road safety mottos?
Or does it reflect on their generally illiterate status? One wonders...

Ha ha. Good one. And quite ironically, I was just about to come up with a post on road signs myself :o !!!
Yep.. the traffic signs are a real joke. More on this later
To add one more:
"Do not mix drink with drive"
Well the Americans are literally doing that with their ethanol powered vehicles LOL ;-)
Well, her you see stupid signs like, - NO OVERTAKING ALLOWDED(!), USE DIM N BRITE (was that an ad?), etc.
When are we gonna see some good, witty words on the road?
