[OSM-talk-be] D1 road signal

[A.Pirard.Papou]

Hi,

The "Mandatory to follow the direction indicated by the arrow" 
description for the down sloping D1 signals here 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Belgium> is 
(fortunately) incorrect.  It should be "Drive around the obstacle on the 
side indicated by the arrow".
> Si le signal présentant une flèche non coudée, est placé sur un 
> obstacle, il signifie obligation de passer du côté indiqué par la flèche.
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.

Cheers,

André.
