Run like hell!!!

    During my recent trip to Azerbaijan, I saw this in Baku.

    If ever there was a truer sign. You took your life in your hands crossing some of the streets and you dare not walk - especially on a crossing!!!

    It would have been funneir still had a pedestrian not got creamed by a red Lada doing roughly warp factor 3 just a couple of hours before (don't worry - he lived!!)

      waro factor 3?? I think your keyboard must be warped!

      Perhaps there's skating there in winter?

      No, it means children crossing ahead, i found this one too, not far from a school.
      Must admit had big problems crossing at one of the rare "passage pieton" of Baku, between the tower and the sea-side walk
