Signs
Thursday, June 25, 2009
This is the entrance to Haut-Sartoux, the area of the park where we live. As you can see, it’s a cul-de-sac; this is because the exit to the Route des Dolines on the other end is closed off by a barrier in order to prevent through traffic. Note that there is not supposed to be any honking; there is. Note that people are not supposed to go faster than 30 kilometers per hour (18.6 mph); they do. Note that cars are not supposed to stop along the road; they don’t: people actually park along the road. But, you say, the sign claims they will be towed if they do! Well, they aren’t. Note that there are supposed to be speed bumps; there are, so that sign is perfectly correct. In other words, two signs out of six are reflecting reality. Not bad for France...
