Just some cars to start with.
Some bikes of course, though still consider Kawasaki a bit too much for narrow streets with special ancient pavement.
It`s difficult to accelerate anyway as they have special "sleeping policemen", though doubt about it`s real antique age.
Bicycles are also popular, and honestly I had a plan to rent one but somehow I changed it.
The toll entrance to the Old part of the town – for cars.
Other methods of road control – “just stop them”, but artistically.
I liked this sign about "Stop, the pedestrian", protecting the lawns. It`s all metal and looks nicely old-fashioned.
The parking spot.
The narrowest street in the town – Rozena iela (Rozena street).
Just ordinary streets are just busy.
The typical tram is doubled and is being used for advertising.
Back and front of a tram.
Police car, though with an "Information" sign on its roof. Perhaps it`s some special service for tourists.
As far as I can tell it`s not a police car, but something connected with the State security, as the same symbol and uniform were noticed near the Presidential residency situated in Riga`s castle.
Road signs. As everything else they are a bit different though quite international. The kids on this sign are even sorted by the gender – “the girl” even wears a skirt and showing some hairstyle. But as a part of old (perhaps Soviet) tradition – the heads of the main personages are separated from the bodies.
Another sign which amused me and which I am choosing to finish the story for today.
