Typed in black ink on applied label on verso BC: (Hints) 1/63 13) WALKING SPEED LIMIT: In Pakistan, the speed limit for \ the temporary dry-season bridges across the Indus River is 3 mph, \ enforced by a human caution sign who walks ahead of the motorist. \ At the other side, he turns around and a sign on his chest says, \ "Thank you." During the rainy season this bridge, built on boats, is replaced by a ferry. \ Credit: William Hubbell © 1963 MAGNUM Photos
