Hi,<br>
<br>
The "Mandatory to follow the direction indicated by the arrow"
description for <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Belgium">the
down sloping D1 signals here</a> is (fortunately) incorrect. It
should be "Drive around the obstacle on the side indicated by the
arrow".<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Si le signal présentant une flèche non
coudée, est placé sur un obstacle, il signifie obligation de
passer du côté indiqué par la flèche.<br>
</blockquote>
It's a real blunder of the Belgian highway code to make no
distinction between the horizontal (turn) and down sloping (drive
around) arrow so that very little people know the difference. The
roadworks personnel know it very well, but yet I once saw such an
arrow pointing to the hole they were digging. Plonk.<br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
