Road mirrors/Зеркала на дороге

I have already said a while ago that the roads here are quite narrow. The turn angles are straight, and in order to help with the problem of looking out for other cars, there are many mirrors on the roads. Here are some pictures.

Я уже сказал что дороги здесь (в Японии) довольно узкие, и расположены друг к другу в основном под прямым углом. Для того чтобы видеть, есть ли машина за поворотом, стоят зеркала. Вот фотографии.

    They take a little bit to get used to as everything is in reverse. But it works well as the early-warning system :)
