The Perils of English



Recently, they have been doing some minor road work at the Ein Zeitim junction (where the main road up to Tsfat from the west leaves the bypass). Although the work is fairly minor, they put up plenty of road construction signs. Now, signs like this here in Israel are generally posted in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Here are pictures of a couple of them, which I took just this morning, that you might find interesting. These show quite graphically why you can't just use a dictionary to translate things!
