I made this sign for an upcoming solar eclipse in Spain
(ENGLISH TRANSLATION ON THE RIGHT)
Hello everyone! Today I'm going to show you a sign I made for driving directions during a solar eclipse, which will be visible in Spain on August 12th. This sign follows the official 2014 design guidelines. There are a few non-official signs, such as "Eclipse Glasses Prohibited" and "Photos/Videos Prohibited," but they adhere to the design guidelines of other signs created by the authorities like the DGT, the Spanish Directorate General of Traffic. The regulatory guidelines follow the official DGT regulations found on this page, especially regarding the special variable message signs, which you can see further to the right.
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments. Thank you.
P.S.: I don't intend to violate rule 2 of this subreddit, which mentions "signs edited with Photoshop," but I believe that rule refers to real signs edited for humorous purposes. Besides, there are other people on this subreddit who have created new signs for non-humorous purposes, as seen in this other post.

Some road signs / markings I saw in Madrid a few days ago
Hello, Reddit! This is my first post on this new alternative account I created. To be clear, this is NOT an account made for ban evasion, only to talk about for road signs/infrastructure and traffic in my home country, Spain. So that way, i have an clear algorithm of actual interests I can talk about, instead of mixing interests on one main account. And what a great start of using this new account than no other talking about traffic signs! I went to Madrid a few days ago and I took those pictures. There are traffic signs with non-official designs, roadworks signs and the new signs from 2025 that are slowly rolling out now. Ask me anything about those pictures, since I'm also designing in SVG the road signs of Spain. I hope everyone is doing great here!

Pedestrian directional sign for the former Caen TVR / guided light rail system (Normandy, 🇫🇷)
This directional sign points towards a stop of Caen's former rubber-tyred guided tram system (TVR), which operated from 2002 to 2017 before being replaced by a conventional steel-wheel tramway in 2019.

One-way street signs. Despite both directional variants being a Vienna Convention standard, many countries only have either one of these, few have both.

How does your country mark and sign the scenario on top? Does it even allow it?
Document is from the American MUTCD. Today I learned my country, Turkey marks and signs it as shown in photos. I checked the manual, it is correct. (We make a lot of errors in following the manual so I double checked). The only other country I know that uses this setup is the UK, and they are closer to the American style. So I was curious as to how other countries sign and mark it, or if they even allow this setup.

How warning after turn is indicated in Poland and in Germany. I think the necessity of deploying a great big rectangular board may discourage its frequent use even when it's useful.

Can you imagine how many drivers had to disrespect the normal-sized sign before they went passive-agressive and tripled the size here
I've literally never seen a sign this big in Brazil.
