It is hoping its buddies don't see it like that

What makes you think they didn't?! ... (or even arm or leg)nuuskur said:What I would like to know is how they put that bunny ear thing around its head without losing at least a finger.
Lack of blood on the gator, unless they lost a finger but decided to clean its teeth afterwards.Stavros Kiri said:What makes you think they didn't?! ... (or even arm or leg)

View attachment 197129
The lower one sets a speed limit to ##30 \frac{km}{h}## and the upper one releases the same speed limit, saying the zone where it was valid ended here. I know a street where the lower one is on the right side of the road and the upper exactly at the same place on the left side of the road. And yes, they are both within city limits, so no change of administration at this point.dkotschessaa said:You might need to explain that one to me.
It's even more fun at some big interchanges when you're trying to figure out what ramp/exit to take and there are 15 different signs you have to decipher while going 60mphfresh_42 said:Driving in the states has been pretty challenging, because one always had to squint: reading texts every five meters with your right eye, like reading a newspaper, and looking at the tachometer with your left, since speed limits in cities sometimes changed every 200 meters, depending on what kind of building or park there was: 30 - 15 - 45 - 15 - 25 etc. and always several lines of text! What a terrible, terrible way of driving.
Two thoughts on this.fresh_42 said:The lower one sets a speed limit to ##30 \frac{km}{h}## and the upper one releases the same speed limit, saying the zone where it was valid ended here.

Unfortunately not. This wasn't a fake photo. It's simply that some bureaucrats decided to put in a speed limit withoutDrGreg said:Two thoughts on this.
Could one of the signs have been turned round by vandals so it is facing the wrong way?
Not in the sense that it makes a difference. A "30 zone" is usually merely a short range where schools are, children play, noise should be avoided or such. It's similar to the 15 areas in the states and which are separated from the general 50 restriction within city limits. A limit of 30 which is no a "zone" is often due to bad roads and it's validity depends on the road conditions. The "zone" thingy came up in the 80's (I think) and since then they often end with this "zone" text, especially when it affected housing areas or roads on which children may play.In your country is there any difference between a "30 km/h" limit and a "30 km/h zone"?
Ibix said:There was a road sign put up, which became famous at least in the UK, which says "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only". Being in Wales, the sign is bilingual and says, in Welsh, "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated."

It can be much larger. Often everything apart from the main roads is part of a "30 zone".fresh_42 said:A "30 zone" is usually merely a short range where schools are, children play, noise should be avoided or such.
No, that would be the "F" in Friday, ... + fish Fryfresh_42 said:The "F" in Monday stands for "fun".

I disagree. Reading (short texts) is easier than remembering a whole bunch of signs (you have to take extra tests for the latter). All you need to know is English (for the former).fresh_42 said:Edit: We basically use symbols and signs instead of written texts as in the US. Driving in the states has been pretty challenging, because one always had to squint: reading texts every five meters with your right eye, like reading a newspaper, and looking at the tachometer with your left, since speed limits in cities sometimes changed every 200 meters, depending on what kind of building or park there was: 30 - 15 - 45 - 15 - 25 etc. and always several lines of text!

1. We are talking about short basic texts ... vs signs that some (if you don't know them well) are vague and far from what they want to represent (not the obvious ones of course).fresh_42 said:Nope.
All of this is a consequence of the American attitude, that there are no foreigners at all in their country. (This is only my opinion based on my experiences visited a small US town - est. 200,000.)
