%80-%90 of these aren’t weird just region culturally specific.

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 Speed Camera Ahead is everywhere where live. Why is it strange?

Probably that it's a 130 year old camera model

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.

In Germany it means full speed ahead.

Reading through this I feel like about a quarter of the signs are regulars here in switzerland.

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.

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.

What’s wrong with no water pollutants? It’s around drinking water reservoirs so they don’t get contaminated in a case of an accident…

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
