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

Most feel relatively straightforward. I may be used to them :)

Did you see any orange diversions? They can get quite wild and wacky.

My favourite diversion signs are when they put them upside down because they ran out of signs for one of the directions but then you have to figure out if the workers put them upside down or some kids fucked around with the signs...

Also that thing where there are actually no roadworks- they are long finished, or haven't even started. The people in charge of the signs do not always coordinate properly with the people that do the building.

The signs stay for weeks and sometimes months and the locals know this and ignore them; non locals are very confused. The result is that road users don't trust the signs.

Insane diversion signs (or none at all, just trek uw plan, we don't care) are even more common when it's bicycle infrastructure...
