I think they are Romanian.

The big 200 m-sign with the four symbols on it is definetly German, whereas those signs with the yellow background do not exist in Germany. Those green Autobahn signs are not German, too. I think they are from Switzerland. The blue "'i"-sign looks like France... we also do NOT have the red bounded "do not turn left/right signs", just the "U-turn". It really must be a collection of signs from all over Europe...

Most of those signs are german looking......although, some are from other countries. There mostly just broad european ones. Below, these are all from Germany. You can see that they are a bit similar to most european ones.

This one has some different types:

I don't have a license, so I don't even know what the colors represent.

First I thought it was a bump (spring break), then I thought it was dispossessed of a snake eating a bird in the plate below.

No parking in a 90 degrees position. The E refers to estacionar, the Spanish and Portuguese word for parking. The use of a capital E in prohibition signs is common throughout Latin America.
