Mark Shaw 1,754 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Lane speeds for two-way or one-way roads for heavy vehicles or overweight vehicles. "fence" = RR tracks. I was stationed in Germany as a Military Policeman. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

JamesR 1,209 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 It's strange to think of a tank needing to be limited to 43.5 mph. I'm sure some models go faster than that, but what's cruising speed on a tank? Link to post Share on other sites
filozof97 23 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) They are not speed limits. It has something to do with maximum load of bridges etc.- different for wheeled vehicles, different for tracked ones. Two arrows mean traffic in two directions, one - in one direction. Fence means railroad crossing with gates, while traffic sign with choo choo means crossing with no gates. Edited March 31, 2019 by filozof97 (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

Vintageben 123 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah with everyone guessing the meaning of the signs I remembered a funny story my wife’s Grandfather Otto told us when we were in Germany. The setting is sometime shortly after the war and Otto was a young man in part of Germany that was occupied by America, he had only good things to say about them and funny enough when he spoke English it was with a heavy American accent. Anyways the locals had a bit of fun at the expense of one of the American Officers telling him that he needed to visit the village of Umlietung I think that some of his comrades were in on the joke. When he was at the end of his service in Germany he said that he never did find that village 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites
trimacar 3,515 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Reminds me of driving through France with a fellow who hadn't travelled much. He couldn't understand why there were so many signs to towns called " Centreville".....he's the same guy who tried to converse with a German factory worker by speaking English LOUD and s.l.o.w.....
