Don't play the Tuba on the freeway in Shenzhen

  • Artikel

I arrived in Shenzhen/China at about 8pm last night for the Embedded Systems Conference China - Just across the street from the hotel there's an interesting road sign... Which includes a Speed Restriction sign (40kph) and a sign that clearly shows that playing the Tuba while driving is not allowed (see enlarged image below).

I could imagine restrictions on using a cell phone, drinking Starbucks, reading the newspaper - but playing the Tuba? - Really?

    Nono, Mike, it says no horn. It's a common sign in China and I'm sure you will see more of it soon :P btw, Shenzhen is my home town and I hope you'll enjoy the stay there (and beware of the pickpockets!)

    No, no, tubas are fine. It's people parping out on bugles they don't want.

    This is why I keep telling you that you should go and live in India for a couple of months - so that you can reclaim your lost heritage and improve your literacy (for visual language). Like the guys above said - it's a horn, one that is quite vigorously used by myriad truck drivers worldwide (considering most of the world is in India and China). ;-)

    that's clearly a cornet.  tuba's formfactor is completely different.
