As a kid (now not anymore) I remember myself being confused all the time. 10 years old me reasoned there were 2 options
They were pointing away from roadworks (to show drivers how they could continue with their drive, which in reality is turning the road for a stretch of length in another direction)
They were pointing towards roadworks (where they literally turn the road upside down to work on it)
As I’m driving myself now, i sometimes smile when seeing these signs, knowing that “omleiding” would be more logical than “wegomlegging”
Otherwise, at least they indicate the same direction for once!
It will surely not be the last time you see this…
Only in Belgium 🤷♂️
Steal it
Is it the typo that’s been pissing you off, OP?
I have to say that you just don’t see that many of these signs in other countries.
Either Belgium is constantly diverting and deviating or other countries do it without putting up a sign.
The correct spelling took a minor devation.
Fix it, post it on r/wholesomevandalism, reap the free karma!
