Einige Straßen in Australien sind sehr lang und haben fast keine Kurven. Damit Autofahrer vor Langeweile nicht einschlafen, wurden am Bruce Highway in Queensland Schilder mit Quizfragen aufgestellt.

#Quiz #Australien #Highway #Autofahrt #Langeweile
Drei aufmerksamkeitsstarke Verkehrsschilder in einem ländlichen Umfeld. Das obere Schild trägt die Aufschrift „FATIGUE ZONE“ und „KEEP PLAYING TRIVIA - IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE“. Das linke untere Schild fragt „QUESTION FLORAL EMBLEM OF QUEENSLAND?“. Das rechte untere Schild gibt die Antwort „ANSWER THE COOKTOWN ORCHID“. Die Schilder sind orange und weiß und befinden sich auf einer Straße mit einer bewaldeten Flanke und einem klaren Himmel im Hintergrund.
