Well, how boring it is when every step you take, every turn of the steering wheel is regulated. It’s like we, the participants in the movement, are some kind of powerless pawns. And how do you sometimes want to show ingenuity and dexterity, bring zhivinka in the road environment, so that everyone would be interested. Well, there are people in the traffic police and in the road services who understand this.
When approaching Moscow on Mozhayskoye Shosse, they set up a separation barrier right at the pedestrian crossing (photo 1). Well, how now it has become interesting on that stretch of road, comrades! The place is busy - the construction market, pedestrians, thank God, a lot. So they do not just run with obstacles - they overcome them with weight, winding among fast-moving cars. And it’s good for your health, it’s nice to look, and you can earn money by arranging a tote: it will run - it will not run …
In Izhevsk, they also brought diversity to the monotonous road life, having arranged such entertainment - motorists and pedestrians also participate in it (photo 2). The rules of the game are simple: a pedestrian begins to move along the designated passage, “drawn” on its side perpendicular to the roadway, and along the opposite. The driver is driving along his lane. Where the "zebra" ends, they meet. Curious!
And in Orenburg, it’s clear that only intellectuals work in road services and traffic police - they prefer puzzles to simple but healthy running activities on the roadway: we must give the brains of the drivers a load. Especially if they are drivers of the regional administration, next to which there is a sign - a quick-witted test (photo 3). After all, the authorities carry, must be able to quickly read and intricate hieroglyphs. Simple motorists have nothing to do here.
Their brain gyrus is trained in Rostov-on-Don (photo 4). Sign 4.1.4 informs about the movement straight and to the right. But the combination of 3.2 and 7.3.3 forbids turning to the right. It is required to guess at one time what awaits around the bend: an inspector with a bundle of penal receipts? Inspector with a protocol on the seizure of "rights"? Inspector with the desire to "agree"? From the one who played, but the one who did not guess, the phantom in the amount of one hundred rubles.
