Pretty nuts right?
%80-%90 of these aren’t weird just region culturally specific.
I take it you don’t have any particular idea where any of these are actually found in the wild…?
I dunno, but if that 5 roundabouts thing is real, I damn sure don’t wanna go anywhere near there!
It is real.

Looks like there is one with 7 also.
What. The. Fuck…?!
It’s got a great safety feature in that nobody understands it enough to attempt driving fast enough to cause a crash
Seeing this as a driver, it’s scary. But seeing it as a pedestrian I’d just mark this whole area as completely inaccessible.
Imagine trying that as a visitor from the US where we drive on the other side of the road.
Polar bear one would be on Svalbard, and I know I’ve seen the crossing skier one in Norway
Germany has a ton of the no speed limit signs. But in reality they are just no artificial speed restriction signs, meaning drive the limit of the road type you’re on.
The penguins under car is at a blue penguin colony in Oamaru, New Zealand. Visited there in March. Might not be that exact format.
Invisible Cows sign is on the road to access Mauna Loa observatory on Hawaii
The one about cows is no joke. Hitting a cow in a sedan at highway speeds is more or less the same as hitting a brick wall.
Edit: actually, given the choice, take the brick wall, because at least a simple masonry wall will crush and crumble and absorb some of the impact. The cow will just gain a sudden increase in its net velocity at your expense.
The one with “No speed limits” doesn’t mean that you can go 200 in a 90, it just means that previous speed signs no longer apply. So if you had a speed sign of 70 in a road that typically allows to go 90, you can do 90 again.
The “Illegal Immigrant Crossing” signs are real down in San Diego, CA. Poor girl is always getting dragged like that.
For all that energy kids have, they sure do suck at long distances.
It’s the short legs. Give kids stilts and they’re natural cross-country sprinters.
The Speed Camera Ahead is everywhere where live. Why is it strange?
Probably that it’s a 130 year old camera model
Reading through this I feel like about a quarter of the signs are regulars here in switzerland.
Also in Australia
The kangaroo one just makes sense, it’s only exotic because you’re the only place with kangaroos, I bet they don’t think twice about the same signs for their local wildlife.
There used to be one in this town that just said “open water” with no elaboration.
It means they built a damn and flooded where the road used to go and it now goes directly into a lake.
