Paved with good intentions

Adrian Buttigieg, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq

This is a street in Bahar iċ-Ċagħaq. Did they run out of paint? Or are we meant to fill in the blanks? I wonder how long it will remain like this.

Very enjoyable comments! Were it not so sad, it would indeed be funny. Where's the Local Council? Well huddled up in their little holes, I should think.

I think they missed a W - that's supposed to be WOW to indicate how beautiful Bahar ic-Caghaq is.

Finally we're using Maltese in our roads,

for Slow - OW

for Giveway - EY

for Stop - OW EY

I hear this when somebody is parking, it is true.

I suggest you submit this photograph to the Only in Malta website - they will be happy to add it to their other similar photographs!

OW is ieqaf (stop) in Maltese. Have you possibly never heard somebody looking out for someone parking their car in a small space and the person outside saying ow ow ow!

So their you go, instead of SLOWing, now you are obliged to STOPING in this part of the road.
