Road tips
To solve these problems, first of all, road signs help. They forbid, warn, advise, inform. A lot of them. All strict and very important!
But recently, more and more funny road signs have appeared. Do not believe? In vain!
We will tell you about funny and strange road signs found on the roads of different countries, and we will even show some of them.
Let's start with a short digression into history to find out where they came from.
From the depths of centuries
When roads appeared, it’s impossible to say for sure. But around the same time, the first road signs were created. It was necessary to indicate the routes. What they just didn’t use for this: branches, nicks on trees, large boulders.
Later, statues, pillars crowned with the heads of ancient gods began to be installed along the roads. Indescribable beauty. You don’t need to go to the museum! In the XVI century, Tsar Fedor Ioannovich signed a decree on the construction of milestones. Later, Peter I ordered these columns to be painted and inscribed with useful information.
Modernization
Signs in their modern form have been known since 1903. France is considered their homeland. It was there that the international convention was signed and important documents were drawn up: the basic requirements for the technical condition of cars, the rules for driving on roads and as many as four signs! The funny thing is that initially the drivers did not pay any attention to them.
A lot of time has passed since then. The transport network has encircled the whole world. Road signs have become important elements of this dynamic structure, and their number continues to grow to this day. Ridiculous and ridiculous traffic signs begin to meet more often.
Road zoology
Among the funniest road signs, specimens depicting our smaller brothers are especially notable. This is a real atlas of the animal world! Let's get acquainted with such a peculiar road zoology.
In Australia, signs with a koala and a kangaroo are quite well-known, warning that these animals can go on the road at any time.
Dear drivers, be careful not to scare the glorious bear and not fight with a kangaroo!
If you go to Svalbard, you will certainly meet a zoo on signs: deer, ducks, polar bears. It’s interesting, when they put a sign with a bear, who do they want to save? Bear from driver or driver from bear? What do you think? And the sign with a deer looks very eloquent! He does not look like a poor frightened animal.
In Switzerland you can see a sign with frogs. It obliges drivers to skip all the frogs without fail! The Swiss must be very fond of these amphibians. Cute, chilly, slippery frogs, apparently, instead of cats. Or another option. In Switzerland, all violators of the rules were defeated. And so that the police had someone to punish, they came up with this sign. If you do not miss a frog, be you a malicious intruder.
What will you do when you see this sign? You’ll go faster to overtake arrogant birds, or, conversely, slower: let them fly away from sin? In any case, be careful, do not forget to watch the sky and rejoice that the cows do not know how to fly.
In front of traffic signs are all equal! This also applies to animals. Interestingly, do they know about this?
