Road signs. What do you think of them? Which country does them the best? Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?

I suppose the French sign is fundamentally the same as the British sign in the sense that they can both be reduced down to
>if you are using this lane, you must use a bicycle
but the French sign adds an extra prohibitive order forbidding you from using the adjacent road.

What? It's great to know you're on the right lane if you get on a loop. I see 0 drawbacks to this.

The loop itself is a waste of space on the sign and is simply superfluous information that has to be processed by the driver.
If you're talking about lanes, then pic related actually states explicitly what lane you need to be on for your destination, which the Japanese example fails to do.

Yes but they're vastly dwarfed by the number of mainline steam trains which is what the signs were pertinent to. I'm sure heritage railways exist in other countries.

Pic is a real thing here.
People know what a steam train looks like. Modern trains at the pictogram level may as well be a representation of an Amazon delivery van.

Also, I'm pretty sure the signs in Australia say "Yield" not "Give way"

>too much writing
So fucking what? They're all still recognisable at a glance even if you can't read at all, and now also self-explanatory. Note the yellow alert signs for bicycles and retarded children, eurobros just slap a triangle with a red border like it's banning children or something.

No, the vienna convention works like this
>White circles with red outline: prohibitive (e.g. speed limits, no parking, no overtaking etc)
>Blue circles: commands (e.g. minimum speed limits)
>Triangles point upwards: hazards
>Triangle point downwards: give way
>Octogon: stop
>Rectangles: directions and information

Stop and give way are distinct shapes to make sure you can tell what they are even if snowed/iced over.

No parking is one line across the circle, no stopping is an X across the circle.

I was oddly surprised reading the 1978 Highway Code (UK) how pretty much the same it is today; not much changed. I thought, for example, the minimum speed limit sign was a modern thing.

Fonty fact
Transport is a sans serif typeface first designed for road signs in the United Kingdom. It was created between 1957 and 1963 by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert as part of their work as designers for the Department of Transport's Anderson and Worboys committees.

Don't let them touch that stuff they'd mess with the font.

Speaking of: "attention - art photography!"

This sign has seen some fluctuation in color. The new ones are blue now, meaning "instructional"; yellow is used in prohibitive signs but squares are mostly reserved for extra plates under the main sign.

I wanted to contrast how the Greenlanders, who all speak Greenlandic, use a normal stop sign. while in Nunavut they use non standard stop signs. But due to superior Danish traffic engineering, and lack of country roads, I can't find a single stop sign in Greenland on Google maps. Just yield signs and roundabouts.
