An interesting infographic design that features some of the most bizarre road signs from around the world for you to check out.
Pretty nuts right?

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!

Looks like there is one with 7 also.
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.
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
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.
Polar bear one would be on Svalbard, and I know I've seen the crossing skier one in Norway
Invisible Cows sign is on the road to access Mauna Loa observatory on Hawaii
I relatively often meet 4 of these:
-
no speed limit (use the normal limit for this type of road)
-
car tires may defy laws of nature (slippery road, usually followed by a sign saying it applies during rain)
-
speed camera ahead
-
no water polluting goods (not very common, but occasionally comes up. There is also no dangerous materials with an orange trapezoid instead of an ellipse)
I also saw don't drive off the pier (around ferries), watch for skiers (in the mountains with cross-country skiing routes), and warning about planes, although in different design (around airports).
