Here are some pics from France.... on roads I know very well... but here, this is just normal! (ignore the misplaced push pins, they are just part of google earth)

Sorry, this may not seem too abnormal to you, but I can tell you - the French live in their own non-parallel universe.

NOTHING makes sense in France.

Nice picts. That oversize load may be real as I am a Owner/operator truck driver and have seen this before. Someone's going to get in trouble over that, I mean big fine. When super loads (loads requiring police escorts and escort pilot cars front and rear. Super loads can also be based on height's, weight's and width's) must travel a certain route escort companies are supposed to do a complete route survey to make sure things don't happen like that

Actually Marc, there are a few of us who could take that turn at 50 KPH (about 30 mph) . . . but the tarmac would look a bit different.

I grew up on the dirt trails and tracks... NO ONE could take that turn at 50.... without endangering oncoming traffic.... or worse.

I will extend the invitation / challenge - if you're up to it. 8)

Attached is the kml file if you want to take a closer look...

30 mph is the equivalent of 50 KPH. Gotta remember that.

I am talking about drifting or "power sliding" through the turn.

I know how fast 50 kmh is. I drive in km everyday. Maybe I should have labeled that turn a switchback, not a hairpin turn.

I drive fast. >I< can not take that turn at 50kmh (31 mph).

You seem to be missing the point. (are you French?)

That speed limit sign should be replaced with a sharp turn sign. If nothing else, tell people to do 50 AFTER the turn! (because it is still a neighborhood with a lot of narrow twisty roads!)

Why is it the rest of Europe seem to understand reality?

Let the Algerians have France. They are half way there anyway.
