German Traffic Signs

One thing that Germany takes very seriously is its traffic safety. In fact, if you’ve ever visited the country, you might feel a little bit overwhelmed at first, as there are so many traffic signs. Road planners make sure that these signs are visible from every angle, which means that there are often many of the exact same signs on the same street corner. When it comes to pedestrian crossings, you will find so many warning signs that it’s almost impossible to miss. While it may seem a little bit extreme, it’s definitely safe.
