Regulate road signs in central China Shaoyang City

Created by E.H. on May 08, 2013

Many road signs in Shaoyang, a city of central Hunan Province in China, are still wrong or misleading several years after the local transportation authority replaced the city's old or incorrect signs with new ones. Such as a board on its Central Baoqing Road is signed in English while another on Xihu Road wrote in Chinese pinyin (do you know what pinyin is?). More seriously, a lot of spelling mistakes are easily found on some of its bilingual signs, like "arenue" and "moniciipal". I know that few expats are living there and road signs regulation seems not critical comparing with other problems exist in this city, but details are always everything. So I hope Obama Administrations could check and correct all the bothering road signs in Shaoyang, which are really undirectlookable.
