    In some Dutch cities they mix in some ladies. You can tell they’re ladies because they have a skirt and a ponytail. So it’s still stereotypical but at least they’re trying I guess.

    It’s ironic because the tradition in Europe is to aggressively head toward the Polish boarder.

    sweden has two different signs:

    also, the guy has a name which translates to “mr. walkman”, which in swedish sounds like “here is where one should walk”

    Uhm… Poland… that… those signs were for the toilets mates. I mean, fair mistake, but what did you put on the restroom doors then?

    Edit: they’re not like that. Warsaw. Dec 2022.

      The closest I could find are these signs for “No pedestrians,” which still don’t look like the bathroom one:

      Yeah we don’t use those signs for crosswalks so someone made it up and you people gobbled it like a pelican

        I was coming back to say that. I’ve been in Warsaw, and in the back of my head I had the thought that this would have struck me as weird so I would’ve noticed. So I went through the few pictures and videos I took and saw this:

          Nah that’s just stairs. In Poland the crosswalk sign is a black figure, going left, on a white triangle that’s on a blue square sign. The only place where anything close to the figure would be present is pedestrian red “don’t walk” signals, with the green being a dude walking.

          Edit: the “WC” sign under it says toilets, not the stairs

            Alright so you did put the signs the other way around!! No lol I think the post says the pedestrian pictogram that then is represented in many signs (ay least here) not just to the crosswalk one in particular, so I thought it applied here. My memory is very fuzzy but this could be an underpass that happened to have toilets as well.

    Meanwhile, pedestrian symbols in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine resemble the scene from Signs when the alien makes its first appearance.

      EDIT: on closer inspection there are quite a few countries going toward Poland but none of them are Ukraine
