Title: Street Lighting Problem
Post by: usedbustickets on May 06, 2014, 20:18:08 PM: This photo was taken yesterday along one of the 'completed' block paved paths and roads in Calis. Now some might spot a problem with the lamp post. Well I have been reliably informed that there is not a problem, as you can see it is in line with the other lamp post further down the street. So there!

We often enjoyed a game of "walk the line" in the early hours after a night out in Scarlett. A lamp post in that location on the prom would almost certainly resulted in serious injury :-[

Even if only a path, H is quite right about potential injury. Unbelievable……..

Only in Turkey eh.
Dont worry they will dig it up next spring to lay drains or cables.

Sorry to add to your worries but this really is a road, not a path. It runs parallel to the road leading to the old upside bridge from BBM. I wonder if this will grow to be as 'famous' or rather infamous as the old upside down bridge.

There are at least 2 lamp posts in the middle of roads here in Ovacik.
There's also a road with a tree in the middle of it here.
I don't see what the problem is. You just drive round, surely.

Now all the traffic has to drive around it.

Dead inconsiderate.
