This Is The Way

 

Today's Tedious Tuesday is a goody. Some repainted traffic guidance, from 1965.

And that's it.

Why did some take this image?

Bonus 2 - Things were better in the old days. Maybe

Venice Traffic Lights.

You know, I hadn't thought about this before. Are there traffic lights on the canals of Venice.

As this slide shows, the answer is yes. But, is it a practical solution?

It takes a lot of energy to accelerate a boat up to a speed, and Italian drivers usually love speed. So, I suspect that the traffic lights are ignored, and serve only as a distraction for tourists.

Thoughts?

River Traffic Jam

 

Although this slide was in a box full of South American Exploration slides, I don't think that this is taken in South America.

It's interesting to note how few navigable rivers there are in South America, and how that has rather restricted population growth and industry to the coastline. The Amazon being a rather large exception.

The Canal Traffic Lights


Yes, that boat does appear to be called "Log Taxi"

This slide just cropped up, and it seemed to be well timed, after the news.

Venice council flooded moments after rejecting climate crisis plan

Act of God ?
