Waitaki District, New Zealand
1. Signpost of things to see – what to do in Oamaru!

It sure was a pretty day when you were there. I’ve enjoyed your trip and just checked out the Penguin Colony from the signpost. Very interesting!

You’re probably aware that in the United States the triangular signs say “Yield.” The London underground (subway) has signs saying “Way out” where American ones say “Exit.”

“Yield” sounds hilarious to me, an old-fashioned term! I actually had no idea that’s used in the US instead of “Give Way” 🙂 I prefer “Exit” over “Way out”. I’ve grown up with “Exit” signs so used to that.

Liz, I like “Give Way”…. too many drivers here just don’t get “Yield,” treating it more like “Go!”

So you’re implying that “Yield” yields more close calls and accidents.

“Yield” made me think of knights in armour and one yielding to another – you know – the weak one yields. Surely it’s like a red rag to a bull to many in the US where many seem to be hellbent on “winning”. I didn’t mention any of those thoughts but Ellen’s comment prompted me to share after all 🙂
