Signboards along the Leh-Manali national highway are getting the attention of drivers and helping to spread the message about safety with its humorous touch.Read these: “I am curveaceous, Be slow!’; “Love thy neighbour but not while driving”; “This is a highway not a runway”.These are but some of the messages put on signboards to guide drivers about narrow turns and traffic rules, The Hindu reported.This innovation of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has caught the fancy of tourists and locals, said the paper.For 29-year-old software professional Aniket, who had come to Leh from Ahmedabad on a motorbike, these signboards are rejuvenating after a tiring stint.”I have come to Leh a number of times. Every time I see these boards, I forget all my worries and laugh freely.”These boards are visible from a distance of about 200 metres and words are written in large fonts for the convenience of the drivers.”I am going to suggest officials in my country follow this. How do you people get such ideas?” a Canadian national, Maya Taylor, was quoted saying.The BRO has been receiving plaudits from people and authorities for its initiative.”We have tried to make it innovative so that people feel like reading and following it. We keep thinking of such new messages to teach people about traffic rules and driving,” a BRO official had said.
