Here are some selected images from Mackrell's film Making the road from Ledo (Stilwell Road); Pangsau Pass linked from :

• at 07:32 sign depicting Bugs Bunny saying: "Listen Doc fun is fun. But Speedin here just isn't done"; and text below: "SPEED LIMIT 25MPH"; a figure resembling Elmer Fudd appears on the left
• at 07:38 a sign depicting a scantily clad woman with text: "HO YOU CAN'T GET THAT ANY MORE! UNLESS YOU DRIVE CAREFULLY AROUND THESE CURVES";
• at 08:08 a sign depicting a short-skirted woman with text (unreadable, start might be "SLOW DOWN")
• at 08:10 a sign depicting a posing seated woman with text starting "YOU MIGHT" (rest very unclear, maybe "USE YOUR HEAD", ends "25 MPH")
• at 08:14 a sign with text starting "MILES/STEEP GRADE WITH SHARP CURVES REDUCE SPEED AND USE LOW GEAR"
• at 08:16 a sign with unreadable text and tower icon below
• at 08:26 a sign with text "STILWELL ROAD LEDO . ASSAM 0.00" flanked by two shields and above two columns of five black bars each with unreadable text; this is possibly the mile sign mentioned in Ledo Road#Construction
