Intimidating, Ominous Highway Caution Advertisements
Ever since writing the entry on driving in Kuwait, I cannot help but see the highway public service slogans on every overpass I go under along the ring roads and highways here in Kuwait. I had written a couple on the blog entry earlier, but my list has gotten longer since then. I try to write down each one I see the moment I pass by them, granted I have a pen and paper. They are slowly becoming my little obession! Keep your eyes out for them, and maybe we can start a collection.
Safety of pedestrians is the responsibility of all
life is prescious
your driving is symbol of your civilization
speed short way to prison or death
your family is waiting
responsible, safe driving
There are more I am sure. They should put these on signs in areas where people actually spend time stopped in traffic so that drivers have time to read them....like....hmm.....the Gulf Road?

i hate these caution advertisements!
by reading them drivers have to divert their concentration away from the road!
so isnt that defying their actual purpose!
yeah totally!!! thats why it doesn't make sense that they would put them on highways, where, like you say, it is a distraction...they should put them near areas where people can actually read them while not being in motion...like a traffic light or something.
I found another gem yesterday:
"pure wholesome goodness"
yes...that was an actual advert.
