Some of it is current, most of it is old. And yeah, it's mostly for show (though I'm sure a few idiots on the ground didn't get the memo, or got into accidents without intending to).

But hey, at least it's moving on from the covidiocy of the past two years. Yesterday the guard at my local (Balkan nation) mall told me the jab passes are no longer mandatory. As he put it, it's "masks off, helmets on" for the time being. And, well, while the "masks" show was something generally unfamiliar to my region, the "helmets" sequel is just the remake of an old classic. All it takes now is for bell-bottom jeans and the Macarena to make a comeback, and it's the 90s all over again.
