Mumbai is very well connected in terms of means and availability of public transport facilities. Auto Rickshaws constitute for a major portion of the public transport. The Stop Sign is an indicator for the tail lights placed on back of the rickshaw. It is a means to tell the person driving behind the rickshaw to brake and stop whenever he sees them glowing. This communication is very essential to avoid accidents. But as Indians love to decorate, the rickshaw driver also decorates his "personal" vehicle in his own way according to his own budget. This has led to many variations of the simple stop sign. From the simple variation due to painter styles to influences from Bollywood, political beliefs, etc. can be seen. Even typographically the availability of digital methods had led to various types of fonts been used in these signs.
