Had the words (in smaller fond)"Via Chalukunnu" and "via Karapuzha" are added against the respective routes, the confusion could have been avoided.
There is ample space in the signn Board. The existing defect will definitely confuse Tourists and also a lot of people passing through the road. THE PWD SHOULD ACT AT LEAST NOW.

OK. So people who are asking why we need two boards with opposing arrows going to the same place, here is my question, what would you rather have?

Would you rather that at crossroads, there is a board which says kottayam in one direction, and leaves the other blank?

If you want to go to Kottayam and see this board and get confused, well no matter which route you take you

^^^^ Amen to that! :)

The Board may photoshopped - but it did bring a smile to many lips- in this fast paced life the harmless trespass is ok. Many thanks dear Kottayamites.

Those who find totally opposite side directions to a place to be idiotic, may not have much understanding of Kerala roads. I do know many other places, where such things happens. There are roads which if you go through, you end up finding even the North-East-South-West directions going off logic. This is just because the roads do curve very much, and that too illogically.

2012-01-04T02:10:26.191+05:30

Dear Anonymous, no need to "CORRECT" one sign when there are a dozen others that are around which point towards the right directions. And no, there is no "Kottayam North" or "Kottayam South". It is just 1 or 2 kms across - where these two roads end up. No point actually. But then, the likes of you don't get it. :-|

2012-01-04T00:16:55.216+05:30

Still dumb, even if you ignore the last line (with 2km).

It must read, Kottayam South & North. Than trying to justify so much, go and correct the sign board & NOW.

Ha ha , expecting people to read two road sign board in conjunction is even more dumb.

2012-01-04T00:05:55.917+05:30

I've recently tried this route. this is kottayam to cherthala/vaikom highway through kumarakom. infact, when I used Kottayam-kumarakom-vaikom-Ernakulam route, it is like some 70kms or lesser. narrow yet scenic highway.

regarding Kottayam haters, Kottayam/Vaikom/Meenachil(Pala) are actually friendly people.

It is One City, where You feel the standards are better compared

Da, kutta, you are like one of those irritating Girlfriends who keep saying everything else - except for the thing that matters.

Can I get a straightforward answer?

"Keep thinking it is a personal attack?"

Well, if you abuse EVERYONE from a place, just because they were born there or stay there, it IS indeed a personal attack. And if it is not, please

Lol Sisupala.

Just because you met a couple of morons (I BET ITS YOUR EX!) from Kottayam who claim it to be the best place on the planet you generalise the ENTIRE lot from there? That some fucked up logic right there.That said, your hatred against one place and the people from there defies logic.

To address your points:

1. Who the eff claims it is a corporation? I

2012-01-02T11:58:58.372+05:30

Stupid Signboard is Stupid because it is stupid. Very many places have the same sort of problem but no-one makes fun of it, like they make of Kottayam. Do you know why? 'cause no-one likes Kottayam. If the people living there were a little less of themselves and showed some humility for a change, someone would have really not taken their case.

2011-12-31T09:59:24.051+05:30

Also, this is a road just outside the town limits and there is no point in showing specific areas of the town. In any case, you will reach two ends of the town that are hardly 1 km apart. To cite an example, when one travels to Mumbai from Pune there are many signboards JUST OUTSIDE the city limits that show just "Mumbai". Only when you are inside the city/town do they show boards to

2011-12-31T09:40:42.320+05:30

Arjunlal bhai, you dont get it do you? The board is EDITED with a capital "E". Photoshopped. The actual board shows the distance towards another location (that falls mid way between the board and Kottayam town - with the correct directions. And for gods sake, this is not the ONLY board on the route and peoples lives are not dependent on this. Its the Kottayam - Kumarakom - Cherthala

2011-12-31T09:33:05.884+05:30

let me ask then, have u ever seen such a signboard anywhere else?? when u are in a road outside city, whichever city it may be, there may be different ways to get to different parts of city. does that mean they have to put a sign board as dumb as this? or does this mean that Kottayam is the only town/city in Kerala to have multiple ways to get into town??

2011-12-30T23:42:23.631+05:30

as the author mentioned the sign board is actually correct.both 4km&5km distances shows 2 different routes to reach the same location i.e.kottayam town.....people choose either of this routes based on traffic situations.....

Wow, are people that clueless or have a good eye for faked images? Look at the 'Kottayam' text in the second and third, and then look at the distorted angle of the third arrow. It's called Photoshop... and that photo isn't even a good job!

2011-12-30T21:27:50.662+05:30
