Traffic Sense .

Family holiday in Bali.
While going to airport on the way back from the holiday saw this hoarding.

What a subtle, humorous and to the point message to bring home some traffic sense.

Having seen the way Balinese people drive and and are so disciplined, always following the traffic rules never crossing the line at Zebra crossing,thought these people do not really need that particular hoarding. They are proud to be Balinese and proud of fellow Balinese .
Nearer home wondered how come in this cricket crazy nation no one, not even traffic department, thought of such a brilliant hoarding. Or may be every one, including traffic dept, knowing traffic discipline of most of the Indians thought crossing the line at zebra crossing such an insignificant infringement as not worth wasting time and energy on point out such minor infringement.
Like Balinese people, I am also proud to be Indian. But unlike them , when I see very large number of people violating most serious traffic rule,like jumping red lights driving in the right lane of the road driving 4 people on a two wheelers, I am not proud but ashamed .
