Traffic rules are everywhere, which means there are road signs. Moreover, in all countries they are by and large similar. However, in some places you can still find very strange signs that will seem strange to us when we meet them.
For example, in the vastness of the Netherlands, namely in cities where there are old narrow streets, you can find the sign “Beware of waiters!”. It is there that there are so many restaurants and cafes that customers have to deliver orders even to guests sitting on opposite sides of the street.

First of all, this sign is addressed to those who travel by bicycles and motorcycles, since it is quite problematic to drive there by car.
And here is a sign similar to a joke “Beware of trolls!” can be found in Norway. It is designed to warn drivers to be extra careful on the roads.

Trolls there are considered characters of local folklore, plotting. That is, the sign warns that drivers at any time encountered “unclean” if they lose their vigilance.
But in Greenland there is a sign for motorists warning that sleds with dog sleds can cross the track. In those places, such accidents are not uncommon, which is why the sign “Beware of the sled!” appeared there.

By the way, in the Scandinavian countries you can also find another warning sign, namely “Beware, skier!”. After all, there are precedents with ski lovers who accidentally jumped onto the road.

The Latin inscription “BUMP” will be understandable only to drivers from English-speaking countries. And its essence is extremely simple: it simply warns of the approach of a station with a speed bump.

But in Romania you can find a very unusual sign that warns of the possible appearance of drunken pedestrians. In particular, they appeared in the city of Pechika, where there are many crowded streets near bars and restaurants. It turns out that the decision to place this sign came after too many drunk, wallowing people began to appear on the roadway.

But the sign “Caution, exhibitionists” can be found not so far, namely in Ukrainian Dnepropetrovsk. Apparently, there are too many lovers of public undressing.

Exclusively in Israel, and more precisely in its border areas, you can find the sign “Beware of the Arabs!”, All due to the fact that it is there that the Arabs track down cars with Israeli numbers to throw stones and Molotov cocktails at them. So the sign warns that it will be better to press the pedal to the floor as soon as possible.

Well, let’s finish with the sign, which was removed due to the dissatisfaction of the local residents, but for quite a long time flaunted in the Italian city of Treviso. It’s about “Beware of prostitutes.” The message turned out to be correct, because the representatives of the oldest profession were often knocked down on a dark roadside, but the popular indignation turned out to be stronger.
