From this morning on, there is a special speed limitation on some Belgian Highway's. the maximum allowed speed is now 90 km/u. The reason to lower the speed limit is because there is too much SMOG in the air. The speed limitaion will probably be valid till friday.
On the radio I heard that there were around 20, 30 people on the roads to place special sign's to indicate where this limitation is valid.
This morning I drove to work and I didn't noticed anything!! Maybe 90 % of drivers drove as fast as usual. So the question is if the work of these "sign putters" was usefull, or just a waste of time and money.
SMOG is very unhealty for the breathing mechanism, and can even cause COPD. Advice is to stay inside and do no heavy physical efforts.
If these polution is so unhealty, why are there so less people who don't obey the rules? Is it that important to arrive 10 minutes earlier on work? Even more important then health?!? (source)
For me, the police may sharpen speed controls. But unfortunattely they don't. Although, they do not contole speed more than useual, they already gave more than thousand people a speeding ticket. (and this on only half a day) On certain times, police even noticed more than 7 speeding violations in one minute. (source)

Understand who can?! But here again, everybody is playing turtle and hiding inside their shield, thinking that other people will take care.
These subject of air polution reminds me of the "global dimming"- subject, Interesting information about this can be found here and here.
And this item reminds me on it's turn on an interesting part of a belgian television show (and funny as well) I saw yesterday. This part of the televsion show can be watched here. The guy in the movie adresses some possible dangers for the world like sun storms, meteorite strike,... Learnfull information on a funny way.
Enough for today, I'm afraid I'll need to hit the road again. Although speed is limited till 90, I'll probably won't be able to drive more than 40 due to the daily traffic jam. I'm still wondering why there are so much crazy people to join traffic jams for 3 hours a day they're whole life long.
I'm working temporary "on location" now for a couple of month's and I'm already completely insane!!! Insane in the brain. :o)
