Talking When you think you've seen everything - watch the lanes' direction of travel

This is ridiculous

Looks like it's meant to slow people down/keep them on the inside lane going downhill :

might just be heavily traveled by large vehicles with trailers and it keeps them from cutting it too short. seems stupid. can you imagine a drunk driver trying to navigate that?

Not sure what is more scary - that traffic system, or somebody who watches this and is like 'meh, same old same old...'

I get what they were going for but that can't be that much, if at all, safer than having the cars stay on the same side of the road the entire time.

Here's a link to the same video, called "This road in Mexico". (I tried a Google search to try to figure out the location.)

https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comment...oad_in_mexico/

There's a comment from a guy in Ladakh who explains the concept...

Quote:
This is how it is done in Ladakh, just minus the nice road surface or fancy road markings because there is rarely paved road that will survive in the Himalayas. The ascents are steep and the hairpins impossible to navigate for heavy vehicles on the inside of the curve - heck even SUVs and lighter vehicles like my hatchback would often struggle to go around these along the steeper inner edge. The thin air at that altitude makes it worse as your engine just can't output the same amount of torque. The only way to go around these without stalling is to approach them with some momentum, which forces you to take the wider/flatter/longer/outer lane while climbing. Vehicles descending usually spot an ascending vehicle, drive to the tighter/inner lane and stop till the ascending vehicle has passed. Edit: Thanks for the gold!
