A Romanian town which installed warning signs alerting motorists to drunks crossing the road have taken them down.Officials in Pecica had introduced the triangular sign featuring a man crawling on the floor holding a bottle as the result of a series of accidents.
But now, after the sign received what council bosses describe as "excessive media coverage" they have decided to change them.
New sign will be put up warning drivers of "other dangers" - and not showing the humorous graphic
Mayor of Pecica, Petru Antal had hoped the sign would act as a warning to motorists who may not know the area… not mock the locals. A statement on the official Pecica website said: "Following the excessive coverage of the location of road signs the local government has decided to change them.
"After consultations with representatives of the Traffic Police, decided the location of new signs, although the mayor's good will was assessed.
"We had consultations with representatives of Arad County Traffic Police and we decided together that this indicator be changed to those with the meaning "other dangers" which are provided in the road."
