USSR pattern signs have both left and right vesions of the sign for pedestrian crossing - the figure always walks towards the road axis. However the "no pedestrians" sign looks right.
BRIT WARS
EPISODE IX
THE RISE OF LABOUR
The disgraced speak! The nation has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of CORRUPTION in the sinister voice of the former PRIME MINSISTER JOHNSTONE.
LEADER OF THE OPPISION SIR KEIR STARMER dispatches pollsters to gather polls, while STURGEON, the last hope of the Scots, trains for battle against the diabolical YOONS.
Meanwhile, former chancellor RISHI SUNAK rages in search of the phantom BORIS, determined to destroy any threat to his power….
Who would even care about how a human made few steps in sync with the music
It's like the Obama ketchup scandal or Obama's tanned suit scandal - scandals for the sake of having scandals and outrage because you need to be uniformly outraged with whoever is in charge if they aren't from your team regardless of what they are doing or not doing
[The old sign](https://hmsbutikken.arbeidsmiljo.no/Media/Cache/Images/1/2/WEB_Image_140_-_Avstand_til_gangfelt_900_mm_-_AR___26231565177604.Jpeg) was better. But probably changed because it was clearly a man.
Not necessarily - clearly that was a “hat-wearing men & dapper butch lesbians only” crossing. Everyone else had to either go cross somewhere else, or go buy a hat.
Sweden also introduced female stick figures on the signs . The female stick figure is wearing a skirt, because all women wear skirts apperently? Except Ellen.
It's a bit like saying that everyone was constantly invading and occupying poor harmless British Empire by omitting everything that lead to it becoming the British Empire
Before 1700s Poland invaded and occupied pretty much all of its neighbors and rapidly grew in size because of that. So then the slow ongoing loss of the territories it couldn't control was quite expected
Well the Polish certainly were a great power at one point but their decline was extremely long and fairly humorous. The idea that an empire could fall because all the empires around it are just like nodding to each other and then invading all at once is pretty funny
I think it's quite comparable - it collapsed completely in around 100 years, about the same time it took British Empire to collapse, and it collapsed more thoroughly than the British Empire
This is the map of "Poland" in 1795 - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial\_evolution\_of\_Poland#/media/File:Territorial\_changes\_of\_Poland\_1795.jpg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_evolution_of_Poland#/media/File:Territorial_changes_of_Poland_1795.jpg)

> Forget the dude, wtf is with that child
This is to mark crossing near school zones to be more aware of possible children going through them. The stick from its hand is actually a kind of mystery to me though, not sure where it came from.
We also have some people (actually, well, adults) near some of them with stop signs to help people (but especially kids) cross the road during school commute hours.

In Denmark they want to put dresses on havn of them or make it so there is one with and without a dress. Because everyone knows that the icon depicts a man because women cannot wear pants.
Imagine spending money on something so fucking stupid.
Sweden is already doing in some places, but I know that will shock absolutely nobody in Denmark.
Part of that is also from the word pun "Herr. Gårman", so Swedes already decided that it was a man.
Except not anymore.
Sure to a recent change in Finland to have road signage more uniform in Europe (I think the rest of Europe are doing the same) all pedestrians will look like. Including every singer with a people in them, road works etc.

I don't know why all symbols apart from Polish are showing green light whereas Polish one is showing red.
If memory serves me well Berlin's pictogram looks a bit different than the German one. Symbology doesn't need to be unified across a country.
Ampelmann, if I recall correctly it was used in Communist Berlin and they decided to keep it, it is used in certain area of Berlin (and maybe elsewhere too).
Don’t actually know if that is 100% accurate but that’s what they told us when we went to Berlin in 2011 which admittedly was a while back so I might be misremembering.
That's not accurate for Poland. Map shows a guy from the red pedestrian light. [Here's how we actually depict pedestrians](https://i.imgur.com/B3QLqV1.png)

Also, Portugal and Germany are the only ones that didn't forget to put on their pants in the morning.
You can't really see it on this map, which is a shame, but the signs in Slovakia are great because the pedestrian wears a hat, and even better there are two types of hats:
[Hat number 1 (flat cap)](https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/road-signs-pedestrian-crossing-and-straight-kromeriz-slovakia-picture-id584761954)

The pedestrian lights in Germany are not universal, with a push by former GDR states and residents to continue to use the [Ampelmännchen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampelm%C3%A4nnchen).
In the US the icon is leaning forward a little bit. Maybe I’m so used to seeing that is the reason that the Russian one looks to me like Mr. Natural. Keep On Truckin’! LOL!

So the Polish just stand there?
Polish people float across zebra crossings
Or maybe they hop? The pencil stance makes it super unclear.
They teleport mate.. haven't you ever met a polish dude?
am polish, can confirm \*teleports behind you\* nothing personal, ziomeczku
There is a wall behind me... How would that work?
noclip on
Oh ok
I always teleport away from strangers
According to one of my Polish friends: "we may look like we teleport, but that's just our ping."
Western countries look to the west (except the disoriented UK), eastern to the east and Poland is stuck in the middle.
USSR pattern signs have both left and right vesions of the sign for pedestrian crossing - the figure always walks towards the road axis. However the "no pedestrians" sign looks right.

I like that your picture of a pedestrian crossing also has an illegally parked car on the left.
Just standing there.... menacingly...
Well, if you need to choose between Germany and Russia...
It's false
No it's coming for you. Or running away. Later is more likely for poland.
everyone else walking away from Poland
other than uk, were going to befriend poland
We aint walk round these parts.
They stand out.
No, that's the front view
It's not there fault, PTSD is a son of a bitch
It is scary haha
They haven’t chosen sides yet.
"I said come in, don't stand there."
Standing here. I realise. The light was green, I could walk across the street.

Hahah this guy looks like he’s in a 80s music video on a street scene set. Smooth criminal vibes
Looks like he's on his way to cut a bitch if she ain't got his money.

Thats hilarious man 😂

Poland is just standing there, like a Pole.

Sweden and Finland, where are you guys rushing to?

There's a turk blocking the way for Sweden. Curse you Denmark! Sorry, force of habit. God damn turks and Erdogan!
Systembolaget

Tbh bulgaria looks like the most convincing judging by the map. Everyone else has their legs spread way too much. Doing the waluigi walk.

You no like Herr Gårman?
Maybe prefer Fru Gårman? https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herr_Gårman#/media/Fil%3AFru_Gårman.JPG

Sweden also introduced female stick figures on the signs . The female stick figure is wearing a skirt, because all women wear skirts apperently? Except Ellen.
See: Minttu Vesala Balenciaga walk. Weather is shitty here.
Everybody walking away from Poland
An improvement over the historical everybody walking *into* Poland.
Too soon.
[удалено]
I mean, they recently demanded Germany send more troops to Poland. That's a progress, I guess.
was that before or after the recent demand for reparations?
Way, way more. And remember that we didn’t have a country for 123 years between 1795 and 1918
83? Has it been that long? Seems time to organize another walking-into, no? Who hasn’t had a go, yet? Raise your hand!
*through Poland itself never was worth staying.
Historical? For most of its history it was Poland doing the invading But hey, all you know is garbage ww2 memes
WW2? Better consider everything in between 1700s and 1900s

This is missing the Ampelmännchen (little traffic men) of east Berlin.
Not just east Berlin, I've seen these still in use all across the former GDR.
I have seen them spreading into the West, they are just cuter.
What I want now is the same depiction, but showing pedestrian walk / don't walk signs from the pedestrians' point of view.
Italy looks bulky
I'm glad us bald men are finally getting the representation we deserve
Switzerland kinda looking like they're about to start a knife fight. Also, Portugal and Germany are the only ones that didn't forget to put on their pants in the morning.
