@Yuvalne@433.world @jannem@fosstodon.org @danielgibert@mastodon.online at least in dutch law, the signs are informative, the markings on the road surface for pedestrian crossing are the legally binding part

@Yuvalne@433.world @jannem@fosstodon.org @danielgibert@mastodon.online and yes, I am being incredibly pedantic, I also actually like the logical approach to the signs there is one exception here btw "woonerf" is legally binding here and by a square sign, not just informing you (the road looking like one is not enough) http://static01.nyt.com/images/2013/04/28/automobiles/Spaces2/Spaces2-videoLarge.jpg I hate it

@helle@tacobelllabs.net @jannem@fosstodon.org @danielgibert@mastodon.online my point being dividing all blue signs into "you may" and "you must" isn't an obvious clear cut. it's more "that's the way the junction behaves here, follow the rules accordingly" (traffic circle, junction with permitted turns, etc.) +"the type of people allowed here" (pedestrian way, bike lane etc.) for circles vs "you're entering the following area, follow the rules accordingly" (pedestrian right of way, mixed use zone, toll road etc.) + general "FYI"s for squares

@Yuvalne@433.world @helle@tacobelllabs.net @jannem@fosstodon.org @danielgibert@mastodon.online technically that one only exists to inform you that there's a pedestrian crossing, the crossing itself as painted on the ground is what tells drivers they have to give pedestrians right of way At least that's what I understood from when I learned to drive and from browsing my grandfather's driving books as a kid
