Asian Bird Flu Car Wash

"SEOUL -- Bird flu outbreaks have spread to six of South Korea's nine provinces despite a massive cull which saw the slaughter of more than five million chickens and ducks last month, officials said Saturday." ... "The H5N1 strain has killed more than 240 people worldwide since late 2003. No South Koreans are known to have contracted the disease."
Full article.

In response to these outbreaks the highway authorities in Gumi have been spraying cars as they come into Gumi off the highway. It's a great idea and I assume, although I don't know for certain, that it's in practice at all major off-ramps in South Korea.
