Pedestrian and bike signs in Panama – Respetelo!

10/19/2014 By Panama Eric

(Greatergreaterwashington.org) Panama’s capital, Panama City, lacks pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, but the country has some pretty amusing signage. For example, there’s this “pedestrian” sign. Perhaps we should all be aware of bootylicious robots.

My personal favorite was this jogger sign. If a jogger ran past me with that physique, I would drive slower.

I didn’t see any bike lanes or people biking around the city, but the “Respect It” signs are all over the city.

Respect the bicycle riders in Panama City. Panama.

“Respect It.”

Crossing the street in Panama requires courage and attitude of a honey badger. Literally, you have to look straight and walk across without any hesitation or risk getting hit. Everyone ignored the pedestrian signals.
