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?

That's like asking "what do you think of the metric system" or "what do you think of binary", it's a way to convey information to drivers quicker than writing. I think most are distinct enough that you can recognize without mixing them up.
>Which country does them the best?
Any following the Vienna conventiondoes fine (because standard is better than perfect), but I would argue to not have writing in the signs, because again, it needs to be quick and easy to know the meaning, and visual information gets processed quicker than writing.
>Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?
No writing allowed, also color blind-friendly traffic sign I guess?

All red outlined cricles are supposed to be prohibitive signs so there's common nomenclature. I agree that a red line across is much more intuitive though.

As the other anon explained, a red circle will always be prohibitive, so a red bar is superfluous.
Pic related is an end of minimum speed sign. The blue background without the red circle indicates an order, so a bar through it means that the order is no longer in effect.

Circles are generally permissive and the red slash through something is universally understood as "not allowed," so the slash is better

that's because, if you want to get technical, circular signs are Orders, whereas triAngulAr signs are wArnings. thus, a speed limit sign, like 'no entry' and 'bikes only' is an order, so they're a circle. 'look out for kids' and 'give way' are warning you that unpredictable small humans are around, and that you don't have right of way, respectively.

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.

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.

Also, you typically have to look for the backs of these signs to know if you have priority in the intersection or not. (Though usually the general road layout makes it clear enough.) Because they are very stingy with these >>2031484 around here.

Like the priority sign is reserved for high speed country roads and never seen in urban environment. The sign tells you that all the intersecting 'carriageways' are to yield. This, even if most of them don't have the fucking yield sign, just a name sign, which is supplied by the road maintainer, that is the sole owner of the road, or like a cooperative with 3 members in it. That you are supposed to yield coming from there because there is a priority road is just 'everyone knows' territory. Besides, the cars are going 100 at the main road and you ar approaching at 30, what are you supposed to do even if you are coming from the right? Many of such places where there is no priority sign yet this is what you do.

They take up a lot more room than a 4-way stop, driving up the cost. Also terrible for 18 wheelers to get through unless the radius is sufficiently large, which again drives up the cost.

In many parts of Latin America that Stop signs don't even say "Stop" in Spanish or English, they say "Alto" which just means "tall" or "high" because someone fucked up somehow and meant to have the stop signs say "Halto" which means Halt, but they left out the H and now the stop signs don't make any sense in any language and they just kind of accept this.

It's common for signaled intersections in the US to have yield signs for right turns rather than requiring a full stop. Usually intersections protected only by signs don't have a dedicated right turn lane in the first place so a yield for such a lane at such an intersection is uncommon.

Although I haven't seen any of those signs in literally decades, probably because I don't live anywhere near a federal prison, and also probably because prison escapes are extremely rare to nonexistent nowadays with modern surveilance, which just makes those signs mostly just a formality.
