Great brazilian roadsigns. Also interesting language. I presume the 80 & 100 signs mean for light and heavy traffic. Circuito de Ouro-The golden route ??

Sardinia is on my "want to go" list. I have been to the port of Piombino from where you can take the ferry to Sardinia.

Sign in 3 languages. I think most people understand what's it about.

There are so many in my collection, I might start off with one strange one: from Santana Row, a high-end shopping center in San Jose, California. Usually, speed limits end in either 5 or 0, but for some reason, the owner must've chosen a strange number:

Bit of dig-out, but... 17mph = more or less 30 km/h. Not odd, just somebody must have non-American origin

Yeah I thought so. I would not see signs like that myself, but anyways, it works.

I've got so many sign pics I want to share, I just don't know which ones to pick since there are at least 300 of them in my collection alone.

Narvik is located 1620km north of my hometown Linköping.

I always wanted to go north, but it's not much worth seeing there except the nature.

1620km south from Linköping means other more interesting destinations like:

Vienna: 1563km Basel: 1591km Paris: 1678km London: 1702km
