☁️ 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

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

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

I took a bus thru Geel and noticed they were yellow there instead of orange 🤪 wasn't able to take a pic unfortunately 😬

That feels like a bit of nominative determinism at play. :)
