This has made me wonder whether this is yet another of the hare-brained schemes, with official blessings, to compel ‘godayas’ to learn English. Drivers competent in English will understand the directions and survive. Those drivers who know only Sinhalese or Tamil will be confused and crash. What an incentive for learning English. Also a quick elimination from the population of the English challenged [i.e. ignorant]. A brilliant strategy - English via Highway !
