This photo was taken on the Mangaf/Sabahya exit from 30 heading East. The road that connects 30 with the coastal road (Al Sahel Sports Club) with the oil pipelines running in parallel.
This sign has been driving me nuts every time I drive past it.
Which road is 303?
And what about the poor coastal road? It’s labeled 209 at exit 209 in Fintas, then according to this sign, it’s 211 if you turn right, and in the distance 213 if you turn left!! Who decides this? Who puts up these signs? I want to shoot each one of them…. Twice!
Then to add to the confusion, they put these signs in Mangaf
(see below). The same road is now referred to as Al Sahil Road (nice) but the number 209 appears again. The road has 3 numbers within 200 metres.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! IT’S NOT THAT COMPLICATED!

yes true, some boards can be totally mindboggling. Especially those arrows, which are at a tangent, pointing in a general direction somewhere between the sky and the ground!
nice to catch these pictures.
