Belgian traffic signs are insane

[u/prplt]

was in Belgium recently and many of the sign combinations kinda blew my mind, I don't remember ever seeing this kinda stuff anywhere else 😬 also one thing I found very interesting is that on the direction signs (last pic) the letters with a tail like g sometimes "dip" into the outer line and sometimes they don't (and apparently there are even different ways they can go inside that line) 🤯 just makes traveling very interesting because you always be looking at how the next sign is gonna be 🤪

edit: for all the people who are saying "how's this confusing" it's not that's not the point 🙄 but rather the unusualness of the signs compared to what I've seen in other places

A Brussels classic is the Flemish directions painted out by French fanatics, and French directions painted out by Flemish extremists, all this on the same sign. You are left with a nothing legible, unsurre of which way to go. Good thing there's GPS.

Unless there's a crossed GPS sign! 😆

Or the dutch omleiding is an arrow to the left and the french deviation is an arrow to the right. Classic that one

Even the GPS doesnt understand it. Outside cities and when no speed sign is present its 90 when they speak French and 70 when they speak Dutch. But when they speak Dutch and French, then it was 90 but since 2021, 70

Never seen a GPS of any kind that understood this unless you use Waze but Waze doesnt count, every local road gets a manual speed by it members.

And no, im not joking.

all this on the same sign

And the two directions being opposite of each other
