minus-squareShowroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·11 hours ago In fact most of the world uses a white sign with red border to mean a prohibition. That’s crazy. Like, this sign means maximum speed limit, not “don’t go 20”… To me, it’s illogical. Like, how on earth would the right be better than the left in explaining that bikes are not allowed? The use of a red border needs to be consistent, if it were to mean prohibition. Yet, it’s not 🧐

The thick line on the left covers up part of the bike, making the sign overall harder to read. Also, the red border on the 20 does make sense, as it’s a speed prohibition on going over 20.
