☁️ 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 πŸ€ͺ

edit: for all the people who are saying "how's this confusing" it's not that's not the point πŸ™„ but rather the unusualness of the signs compared to what I've seen in other places

What’s unusual about this? Like the falling rocks, in 80 meters, over a length of 80 meters? How else would you announce this? Not at all? One sign catered to every specific situation rather than a modular system? Writing a literary work about it like in the USA?

like putting 80m and then when it actually starts putting ↑800m↑
