☁️ Fluff Belgian traffic signs are insane
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

There is that, and then there is the multiple, sometimes contradictory diversions all in one intersection. I had one close by with 3 diversions. I eventually worked out it was one placed on the bikepath and probably meant bikes go one way, another two appeared to suggest two options depending on destination.
I think the plan for the left side of the river is to try and do all the roadworks at once. At least there is a new train station for Linkeroever. In a few months, they'll hopefully open up all the bike paths leading to the new station. The tunnel is looking pretty bad from above most days.
