Traffic Signs

[RouWa]

Some days ago I saw a traffic sign that looked like this:

Does anyone know what it means? Beware of cars with "turbo boost" (KITT from Knight Rider)?

Probably keep the passing lane clear, don't sit side by side blocking faster vehicles.

 

[Famine]

Probably something about lanes/filtering. In which country did you see it?

 

[RouWa]

I think it was in Italy or Austria. I have never seen such a warning sign here in Germany.

It means red cars pwn black cars.

 

[Famine]

Well, a red upward-pointing triangle is usually a warning (as opposed to information or instruction) and a red vehicle on a road sign is usually doing the thing that is prohibited.

So don't do what the red car is doing. Or else! You have been warned.

Edit: Found it. Its Austrian

Motorist driving against the traffic on motorways​

Thanks. Seems to happen there regularly, since they have a sign for it.

I wonder if it means that some lanes on a multi-lane motorway are for counter-flowing traffic. What was going on at the time?

 

[RouWa]

What was going on at the time?

Nothing. I think it's an ordinary warning sign for wrong-way driving, meaning to be careful. We in Germany simply call those drivers "Geisterfahrer" ("ghost driver"), because many of them die and/or kill innocent drivers.

I call them panic and reaction testers.

Unfortunately so. There was an instance of that the other week near where I live, someone joined the motorway down the wrong sliproad and the eventual accident killed the mother and one daughter in a family of four travelling the other way.
