The road signs are all in cyrillic, so the 8 units of Russian that I took in college have finally paid off, although all I remember is how to read the alphabet and only the most basic phrases, so I have no idea what this sign says. Someone needing a creative artistic release must have decorated the Belarus highway signs, because the signs involved a lot more illustration than is the case elsewhere. The illustration of the police officer and his car here is a pretty reserved example, although the detailing is pretty excessive. Elsewhere no-passing signs were illustrated with two corvettes competing on the road with a wave of coffins floating off into the sky in front of them, to provide another example. (12-20-04)

When a government actually cares about finding jobs for all of its citizens, they get signage that is both informative and intriguingly illustrated. Touché.

I just saw the translation. Very impressive - I did not know that you spoke Russian.
