Driving in Malaysia ... Part II

Number 4: Road Direction / Signs
The directory signs in Malaysia are carefully placed in such a way that you can not read them. They were often placed at a location that is either too far or too difficult to read. There is a perfectly good reason for them to do so. The contents are frequently wrongly advised and/or leads you to a longer path with Tol. The contractors who placed the sign must have know that, therefore placing it in weird location, hoping that you will miss them. The nature seems to be agreeing with them. Trees are often grown to block the view of the road signs. Isn't it amazing to see how nature takes sides :) Hint for the day: When you decide to follow a road sign, you are rolling a dice and taking your chances.

Number 5: Smaller Road Signs
On the bright side, the smaller road signs that indicate the Road name are usually accurate. However, just when you think you can rely on them, you are unfortunately disappointment again. Most of these smaller road signs will be covered by little advertisements from loan shark, fake medicine suppliers and others. You can barely read the road names. Hint for the day, use a GPS when you are closing in.

To be continue...
