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 @danielgibert@mastodon.online The confusion stems, I think, from these signs being blue; but informational signs - distance and direction to various towns and so on - are also blue background with white text (because it's the easiest to see). But overall see them as "these are your options for things you can do", where, sometimes, there's only one option.

@Yuvalne@433.world @helle@tacobelllabs.net @danielgibert@mastodon.online I think my point (such as it is) is mostly the contrast with the negative "may not" of red-border signs.
