Street Lamp Numbers
Not sure if many people have noticed this but street lamps have unique numbers on them. I remember reading once that these numbers are used to identify the location in case of emergency like say you get into an accident and you call for help, you could read them the number on the lamp post and they would know exactly where you are. I wonder if that applies in Kuwait.

you should look for the ’248′ lamp post .. make it a competiton!! ;)
We use these numbers to know how far are our friends in the other car behind us!! so if the difference in the numbers is 10, then they are 10 lamps away..
Wow thats just too much math to figure out how far behind your friends are.

I always add up the numbers really fast to keep up lol, and its usually tht way, a number decreases/increases until a new number, wait wait i’ll give an example:-
lamp 1:- 7/8–4 lamp 2:- 8/8–4 lamp 3:- 9/8–4
lamp 4:- 1/9–4 lol i dnt focus, after a while i realize im doing it and its annyoing (how come I failed math twice :’( )

the “666″ lamp is located in Qurain City
If that works in Kuwait, then that’s great, because I have a hard time letting people know where I am exactly!
Highways have the kilometer small green boards that mark how far you are from Kuwait City at any one point. Every half kilometer is marked.
Ba3ad hal lamp marking shmalah? :)
yeah i have noticed this…
نفس الفكرة على الخطوط السريعة تشوف ارقام الكيلو بشكل كبير ولو تلاحظ بين الارقام الكبيره في ارقام صغيره على الرصيف الي بين الخطين السريعين مثلا لا سمح الله صارلك شي وانت ما تدري وين تعطيهم اسم الخط والرقم << حق البنات مفيده
اما ارقام الشبات هذي اول مره اسمع انها للطوارئ
is ab7ag a girl?
Thanks Mark, good bit of information.
I had American friends who just moved to Kuwait. We were going to meet at the Hilton and they got lost somewhere on Fahaheel Expressway. I called Dude and he said “we’re at lamp post # 432″ (or whatever). It totally confused the heck out of me for about 10 minutes until I figured out what he was saying. On a good day, Kuwait makes no sense.
