Indian Road Signs

India is a very big country with a wonderful reach ancient culture. It’s hard to see even a tenth part of it in a month or even in a year. That’s why people who have visited India once often returns for the second visit. There are so many spectacular and fascinating things in India, but today we will speak about Indian road signs.

As in almost any part of the world Indian road authorities are aware about traffic safety. And as in almost any other part of the world they are putting warning signs on the sides of the roads. However, there is a local Indian coloring in these road signs:

road sign: drink and drive

Don’t mix drink & drive. In India most of such road signs are installed and maintained by the Border Roads Organisation. It seems that people there are far more creative than the average transportation department employees in the European countries. On the picture above they’ve put some cocktail tint into the usual “don’t drink & drive” slogan.

On the bend go slow, friend… and rhyme your sign!

Drive like hell and you will be there.

Indian roads and transportation department recommends: Smile, it is contagious.
