"On the tracks--don't play"

.
Electrifying news!
I was so happy to see this sign, at long last, near the end of Jaffa Street!
"The power-lines of the light rail in this section are electrified."
.
For years already this blog has been posting torn up Jerusalem streets, bulldozers, track-laying machines, bridge-building cranes, workers wading in wet concrete, and all the rest that goes into building a light rail.
.
This particular section was even planted with grass.
It runs along the northern wall of the Old City.
.

The trams might actually start running in April.
.
To prepare Jerusalemites for the big day, these signs are going up along the route.
Please enlarge the photo, read, and have a good laugh.
: )
Just remember--we have never lived side by side with a tram before.

  2. Be sure that sooner or later some guys will try one or the other of these wise things to do around a tram.
    When I worked in Milan I was honked once or twice by a very silent tram behind me!

  3. I notice the "might" which reminds me of the caution one uses when talking about public works in Italy...
