[DK]Det sjove ved dette skilt er, at alle afstande er målt i tid og ikke i km.
[ENG]The funny thing about this sign is that all distances are shown in time, and not in distance.
Historic significance:
[DK] Så vidt jeg kan spore skiltet tilbage i tiden, er til før 1964, muligvis skal vi hel t tilbage til slutningen af fyrrerne. Der er vist ike længere nogen der kan huske hvorfor eller præcist hvornår skiltet er sat op.
[ENG] As far as I can trace the sign back is to 1964, perhaps we have to go back to the late forties. There are no longer anyone, that remember precisely why and when the sign is placed here.
