Road hazards differ regionally. No moose in Cyprus. None on the trans-Canada in New Brunswick either, as it’s fenced to prevent them, with helpful crossing tunnels underneath - but that’s another story. A stretch of Cyprus’s main motorway from Limassol to Nicosia closed this morning for a peculiarly Mediterranean reason - a large quantity of oranges had fallen off the back of a truck. Secondary roads not necessarily any better than northern Ontario, though. Yesterday firemen called upon to rescue a man who had been driving his Honda when the road gave way, leaving the car upside down ten meters down in a giant pothole.  Man ok, car maybe not so much.
