Word on the street is "XING AHEAD." It's painted on in big yellow letters. I think it's Pinyin for something. "Death," maybe. There is a lot of death on the roads. It could be a council initiative to reduce the road toll. Like on the Coquihalla Highway; the toll is $10! That's a lot cheaper than death, though, so perhaps it's working. Funerals can easily run into the thousands.
