All of you older people should recognize those song lyrics. At any rate European countries are filled with traffic signs. And it isn't until you rent a car that you really notice how many there are and that you have no clue what some of them are.
We though we would help all you potential travelers out by having a traffic sign test, so number your paper from 1 to 26 and don't cheat! Some pictures have two signs in them so watch the numbers on the side. I started you with an easy one and yes some are blurry, it is hard taking pictures from a moving car.

Garth and I sure wish we had asked about some of these signs before Rob and Anita dropped us off at the car rental. Below are a list of the answers:

Garth and I sure wish we had asked about some of these signs before Rob and Anita dropped us off at the car rental. Below are a list of the answers:
1. This sign tells you where each lane will be going. Some of these can get quite complicated with 5 or 6 lanes. They also paint big arrows on the street.
2. No stopping on the right side of road. If there wasn't an arrow, it would mean both sides.
3. You are leaving Riel or any other city/village.
4. No parking on which ever side of the street the sign is on.
5. No bikes allowed.
6. Round-about ahead. There are tons of round-abouts and we decided we really liked them, the traffice keeps moving, no sitting at traffic lights.
7. Some cars will be turning left.
8. Do not enter
9. Bikes and vestpas can enter.
10. You are on the main road and there will be a road entering from the right but they have to yield to you.
11. There is parking to the right.
12. 50 km speed limit.
13. End of 30 km speed zone.
14. Bike path ends.
15. You are entering a main road that you have to yield to.
16. Bike path.
17. Beware of pedestrians.
18. You are on the main road and everyone yields to you.
19. No parking, you should have gotten this right, it is the second time I put it in. Garth and I were very complexed by this sign. We didn't know if it meant don't not enter or what.
20. The car on the right has the right of way. The road narrows to slow down traffic and only one car can get through at a time.
21. Bikes will be coming from both directions.
22. Dead end street.
23. Yield
24. One way street
25. Caution children at play.
26. Construction zone.
Add up your correct answers and see how you did.
0-8 correct you shouldn't drive in Europe
9-13 You would probably drive as well as Garth and I did here. No accidents but a couple of confusing times.
14-19 You must have driven in an European country before.
20-26 You are European or more likely you cheated!
