Is there a problem having a little line through the thing you’re not supposed to do?

/American (sorry) question

Unfortunately, Americans often mis-interpret those as Speed Lines and put the pedal to the metal.

That is used for cancelling a previous sign.

My interpretation:

1: Purposefully drive over all yellow squares. (But only if you are piloting a tricycle)

2: No more 30 kph limit, fly, you fool!

Y'all have some weird driving laws.

This is also used on town/city signs to indicate when you are leaving it (at least in Poland)

Technically that is also canceling the previous sign that said you are entering the town.

Now I want to expatriate for the sole purpose of swapping welcome to and you are leaving signs outside of small towns in Europe.
