Funny Road Signs by Yadid Levy

The signs that you are seeing here were taken along the second highest motor able road in the world, the road that goes from Manali to Leh through at the Himalayas Mountains.
The reason for those funny signs is that the road is very steep and curving, and quite accident-prone. Also these same kinds of warning signs are fairly common in India - they are almost a tradition... though the ones on this particular road are poetic thanks to innovative language, and thanks to the spectacular setting. They in a way reflect a typically Indian aesthetic sense, and draw much more attention this way.
One thing is for sure; they could only be in India.
