Also, stop signs are ~~hexagonal~~ octagonal and yield signs triangular so you could notice them even when they're not facing you.

Edit: octagon/hexagon

Red state. We can't afford the extra 2 sides.

[–] freeman@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

Or when covered in snow or if the sign is badly damaged

This should be in drivers education in Europe

they are, aren't they? not with a banana ofc, but I know they are categorized based on shape and color.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Drivers in Europe, and I assume most of the world, do have to have several theoretical classes about driving and safety to earn their license. Is this not the case where you live?

[–] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes of course. It is super rigorous. With both required extensive theoretical classes, theoretical test, required session with driving on ice, minimum hours of driving, and a driving test.

I mean't the humor for teaching it

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago

Thats confusing.
