ESL people of INT, are stop sign written in your language, in your cunt? Show them!

Yes. Pic related is one of our stop signs. It says "stop", which is the Dutch word for "stop"

Romania is the only European country where the yield sign isn't just an upside-down, blank warning sign. (Ireland too but they have square yellow warning signs)

Here's what it would look like if we combined the basic principles of the old stop sign (yield inside warning) and we kept the unique octagonal shape.

Ours say "STOP". During traffic education in elementary school, a policeman explained to us that the spelling is wrong, but we've adopted it because the sign is international. The imperative "stop!" would be written with a double P in German.

There's a logic to German traffic signs.
The three most important signs have unique shapes:
- priority road is a yellow square with white border standing on one point
- yield is an upside-down triangle (white with red border)
- stop is an octagon
Traffic signs are round, blue if they tell you to do something, red if they forbid you to do something. Danger signs are triangular. Zones (pedestrian zone, 30km/h zone) are rectangular.

Also always found this argument a bit weird, when the priority road sign has a unique shape, but picrel does not

>wild boars
fun fact
we do not have a special sign for it, so for purposes of formal correctness we have to put up the generic sign for wild animals that shows a deer, and put a text below "wild boars" :DDD
>>
>>215319319
this sign is supposed to be used outside build up areas, whereas the square sign inside them. And the usage is slightly different because one is a warning sign you use in advance whereas the other is rather placed right before the intersection
>>
>>215319477

>>
>>215319510
it's different here then
the triangular sign gives priority only at the next intersection, the square sign gives priority to the entire road, that's the only difference
it has the outer form of a warning sign, but is not used as such here
in many Euro countries, the triangular sign shows the setup of the road crossing, here it's always the same (for example there is no variant for when there is only a road from the right, not from the left)
>>
The idea behind the stop sign being an octagon, and yield being an upside down triangle, and they are the ONLY signs with those shapes, is the benefit of that they cannot be mistaken for anything else

It helps reinforce the standard everywhere if it’s kept uniform. It doesn’t matter what is written on the sign, an octagon shape can only mean stop, and an upside down triangle can only mean yield

If you start changing this system you make your country dangerous for no reason
>>
>>215319672
>the triangular sign gives priority only at the next intersection, the square sign gives priority to the entire road, that's the only difference
here all restrictions and priorities end at the next intersection so you have to repeat the signs anyways
>>
>>215319692
It's also important not to overuse the stop sign. You shouldonly use nly in places where it's necessary due to limited visibility and the yield sign wherever it's safe to just slow down most of the time.
Overusing the stop sign leads to people ignoring it most of the time even when it's dangerous not to stop. Here I suspect there's twice as many yield signs than stop signs

In my town I remember only one place where there is a stop sign. It's on a huge crossroads where you can clearly see the road in all directions, plus there's a 30km/h speed limit there for both roads.

Well, at my crossroads the roads cross at a 90° angle. I've learned in driving school that at a stop sign you have to come to a complete stop for at least 2 seconds. The driving instructor taught us to slowly say "einundzwanzig, zweiundzwanzig" before driving on. Germans do that, but the vast number of immigrants that Merkel has let into the country seem to have learned driving in Kabul or Ouagadougou. It's really become more dangerous.
>>
>>215321001
Too dangerous for Europe. People wouldn't understand the stupid rule and even if they did they'd drive first because they would think "I got here first". But European roads are safer than American roads. American roads are so wide they lead to speeding. American cars are huge and cause more deadly injuries when an accident happens. Most of America doesn't have public transport, so people regularly drive home drunk or on drugs after a night at the club or bar. In Europe you have a special nightly bus schedule on friday and saturday nights that take you home. (I've been in such a bus once. There was a pretty wild party going on inside of it. Night buses don't drive the regular routes, they drive extra long ones so that everybody gets to get home.)

The signs are repeated at every crossing, yeah, but you can assume that you will have the right of way until something explicitly tells you otherwise

Two weeks ago I saw a special pedestrian crossing traffic light in my town. Pic related. Normally it's just a man standing or walking, this one is a miner with a helmet, helmet light and a pit lantern. (Pit lanterns would flare up if there was gas in a shaft and warn the miners.)
The traffic light in my town is next to a former mine shaft that is now a community center, a children's daycare and an old people's home.

I honestly don't know why he does that.
Here's another example. It's the East German traffic light man, with a hat. After the reunification, all the traffic lights got replaced with modern western ones. (The East German phases were different, they would have green + yellow before a light turned red. We don't have that in western Europe.) Anyway, East Germans complained and, regulations and norms were changed to allow for the old East German traffic light man with the hat to return.

Here's an official German sign: Play road/zone. Pedestrians have the right of way and cars may not drive but only roll with 6 km/h maximum.

Level railroad crossings have a big X with a red light. Recommended speed I've only seen once on the autobahn in South Germany. Soft verges are nowhere where I live. And the one way traffic sign I've never seen, since I was a child the signs looked like this, pointing in the right direction. "Einbahnstraße" means "one lane road", meaning the traffic goes only in one direction. There are signs exempting bicyclists from that one way rule on some roads/in some towns.

Political reasons. They wanted to introduce new, often useless, signs (HOV lanes, bike roads, electrical vehicle signs, …). Now they don't want the press to make headlines about how outrageously many signs we have, so old ones have to go.

>>215331702
It exists and was very useful. There are still some of them where I live because no one bothers to dismount them. The sideways sign can be very badly visible in some road settings.
>>
>>215332362
per wiki they deleted like 15 signs and added like 100
