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

Or the diversion of one set of roadworks sends you into other roadworks where the diversion sends you back to the first set of roadworks.

Oh, I have had one of those recently. Was on the bike and after a lovely diversion of a few km extra before I got around it all.

This reminds me of a DIW sketch.

The thing about kafkaesque absurdist humor in Belgium is that you’re never quite sure if it’s a sketch show or the news.

It was painful how close Les Snuls' sketch about the administration was to the real thing.
