Town installs 'drunks in road' warning signs

A Romanian town has installed warning signs alerting motorists to the number of drunks crossing the road.

The triangular sign features a man crawling on the floor holding a bottle and has been introduced as the result of a series of accidents.

Mayor of Pecica, Petru Antal said he hopes the sign will act as a warning to motorists who may not know the area - where locals apparently enjoy the town's many bars.

He added that the problem came about because Pecica is a border town which many people drive through quickly on their way somewhere else.

Under the odd graphic it reads 'Attention - Drunks' … the signs are expected to be hanging on the bedroom walls of students by the time anyone sobers up enough to notice.
