Fun Signs

We thought these signs were pretty cute. Myles did a great job driving our rental car while I attempted to read the maps and navigate. It was pretty funny the first time he exited off the autoban, and I said, "Don't get off here. We're not going to Ausfahrt!" (Ausfahrt means exit).

We learned that you have to know your geography because the signs never tell you where you are, only where you're going toward. We also realized that you have to stop sooner than you're used to at intersections because the stoplights are directly above you, not above or across the intersection.

Sometimes, there were signs like Yield signs or stop signs connected to stoplights, which seemed confusing. Maybe they're used as back-ups if the power goes out? We never did figure out what the sign on the bottom meant.

Our most common question while driving was, "Is this a one-way?!" Many streets are so narrow that you think they should be a one way, but they are often not.
