It is forbidden to have accidents.

On a recent trip to Surabaya with my friend, we noticed two peculiar banners. One says "Anda memasuki jalur dilarang kecelakaan", and the other "Dilarang mati karena kecelakaan".

I already can hear you (who speak Indonesian) laughing.

For you who don't know Indonesian, the translations would be: "You are entering an 'accidents forbidden' zone", and "It is forbidden to die because of an accident".

And to make things worse, those are official banners put out by the police (the latter was put right outside the police guard post). Well, it gave us quite a chuckle on our 7+ hours trip.

And judging by this picture, it seems those aren't the only ones... :)
