You see a lot of signs like that (well, in English) in the mountains of Pennsylvania – I think they’re meant for truck drivers who can shift down into low gears to keep the truck from picking up too much speed as it rolls downhill. Not so useful if you’re in a car.
Oh my I love the feeling of motion in your photo and a great sign. Thanks for all the LIKES on my blog today. I enjoy following you, too. Best, Ruth in Pittsburgh PA
