That arrecha curve is killing a lot of people

January 11, 2007

And the revolution bypasses classical road signs between San Carlos and Acarigua with this somewhat atypical road sign, which uses a word “arrecha”, meaning tough, difficult, which could be considered to be coarse. The sign says that the curve ahead is “arrecha” and people’s carelessness kills them when they take it. I wonder if they have thought of hiring an engineer that could make the turn less arrecha and fewer Venezuelans would die. Traffic accidents is the number one cause of death in Venezuela.
