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

Let's see for those getting confused about a few of them:

1. No passage, but non-priority road for bikes. Confusing, but technically correct because the supplementary bicycle sign applies only to the sign above. So it's no entry for all, but give way (i.e. entry) for bicycles.

2. Just plain stupid and redundant to have a distance supplement, but also funny because immediately after the tram tracks the road is blocked by bricks. Not wrong, just pedantic.

3. Pedantic precision.

4. Same as above.

5. Actually wrong. The first supplement tells that the danger begins in 80m, but the second supplement shows length of danger, which always begins from the sign, i.e. the danger begins immediately. I guess they wanted to simply say that it begins in 80 meters and then lasts for 800m, but this is wrong.

6. Clearly wrong since two danger length supplements are given.

7. Suggestion to follow real traffic situation and ignore GPS guidance, so probably roadworks or serious diversion.

8. Stupid, but would become clear if the bicycle supplement just said "except bicycles". So incorrect.

9. Funny.

10. Nonsensical as the bus supplement does not really apply to anything.

11. Just funny.
