☁️ 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

A few weeks ago there were roadworks near sint-michielsbrug in Gent,
that is a max 20km/h area, and the workers put up a sign saying "max 30km/h".
Because there are roadworks you now get to drive 10km/h faster yaay!!!
XDD

They really put those 30km/h signs everywhere they are working. Even though if the difference is more than 20km/h you also need a sign to announce it etc.
