If that's what one does for laughs, one must have a very sad little life.

Did you report it to the relevant road authority who can rectify it?

Hi Starlooker,

Its been reported some time ago and its still there????

The authority is somewhat slow to act.

The offender I assume would be too callous and immature to feel any remorse if it caused an accident. The art work is very poor.

At a distance I thought it was 80 KPH. I saw it was too tight and slowed. Had to get a close up look, and AAAAAaaarrrrrhhhh. .

Cheers Marty

Pretty weak attempt to make a 6 into an 8. Idiots.

Yes this is idiotic behavior and potentially dangerous but... this stuff is everywhere and as has already been noted, a really poor attempt at making an "80" from "60". I have found the severity of corners associated with a certain advisory speed can vary enormously and therefore largely ignore them (as I assumed most did).

I do find it hard to fathom that man and machine would have had much difficulty taking a 60k corner at 80k.

Point taken though, one must have little to do to consider this fun.
