In the US, we’re used to seeing the same old road signs every time we get behind the wheel. Certain shapes and colors have unified meanings. Everyone knows what red, yellow, and green means. While in other countries across the globe, road signs can take on unusual meanings with wild images. With different needs and driving conditions, every country comes up with their own system for alerting drivers. From armadillo crossings to crocodile attacks, avalanche warnings to radioactive chemicals, worldly road and parking signs can be a humorous way to get your point across.
Looking at some of the more bizarre road signs from around the world, the messages may change but the aesthetics remain fairly similar. Geometrical shapes are meet with hard red outlines. White or yellow backgrounds usually feature black, silhouetted shapes and images. These guidelines seem to be a universal way of getting people’s attention. Firm lines, bold colors, high contrast and cutout characters are easily readable and understood. They’re a quick way of conveying information without overwhelming the viewer’s eye. Of course when you’re driving, you don’t have time to stare at an image for more than a quick second.
