I wonder how many mufflers, cross members and transmissions are in the pit.

If you were going fast enough you could just jump it.

What's with the @ in the triangular island?

My company put those divot type speed bumps at the entrance to the main gate and they tore up my tie rods, and rear control arms. The car does have 198,000 miles on it though.

Is it just me, or do those look alot like stairs? I guess they're grooves in the pavement for traction. I was sure this was a photoshop creation when I first saw it(b/c i though they were stairs), but it's real... right?

I've seen several places around town that are getting rid of speed bumps and just installing stairs to slow people down

Looks a lot like Eastern Europe from what I have seen. I am as curious as you are.

I've beeen studying that picture. This is not a real place. Look again at the crossover. Look at the blue car coming out from under the bridge. Look at the clearance between that car and the bridge. Now look at the bus that has already passed under it. Compare it to the height of the red car in front of it. There is no way that the bus could possibly clear the bridge.

Also, look at the lower right section of the photo. Look closely at the dirt paths in the grass. The line of trees there each has a ring around them. Look at the fourth tree. It would not be possible to wear a path in the ring identical to the rest of the ground, while still maintaining the defined circle.

This is likely a screen shot from SimCity 4. I have this game, and the close up graphics for it are phenominal.

It's a neat picture, and it even had me for a couple of days, but it is not a real picure of a real place.

Imagine the size of the trench drain that would have to be built.
