Street Lights

Well… no lights, but the lamp posts are up. I can’t believe these people have to work in these temperatures! It was boiling today.

Mangaf is starting to take shape – despite the mess.

Never as simple as 1 2 3

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!

Is this a sign?

The new Blocks diagrams have been displayed on road 101 in Mangaf. I’m pleased to see that they’ve gone for the five blocks in this very simple split. It makes a complicated town very simple. When we were searching for a house, I saw maps of Mangaf with seven blocks!

If you live here, you will have also noticed some of the door numbers being placed on houses.

Does this mean roads are finally coming?
