Call me weird but i always fo nearer before i go further.
Sorry red people, you’re just wrong
You always start reading from the top of the sign and knowing the closest city is always far more useful than the furthest away, just logically it makes sense
thank gawd nobody shows their road distances in miles
White countries – have no cities
Grey countries – have no road distances
When you are driving you don’t give a f. for the closest city, you already know where you’re going for distances of 100km, if you are driving 1000km, the furthest city where the highway goes is more important. Also individual cities are marked 2-10km before exit from highway.
Red is best
So, you are either like the eastoids or you are civilised. Ok then!

Red for the win!
There are people who sort from farthes to closest, and there are weirdos.
Simple.
I’m confident that Ireland is red just to spite the UK.
Only Australians would read from bottom to top.
Needed this for GeoGuessr, thx
Both signs shows Major spots for CS:GO majors as well. Jönköping and Katowice.<3
You want to see the closest location, the closest to the road.
Or in normal language: its at the bottom because your eyes will be closer to the road. You will have to move your eyes less which probably on a hollistical level, saves a couple of lives per year.
That my friend is a mega win!. Also big respect for having such a great mindset during infra development. Just making sure your eyes need to move 1mm less.
P.s. bonus info: signs used to be green in allot of places so they would blend in with nature. Also to make people a little bit less nervous to big infra projects. People were very much anti vehicle for a long time. The signs needed to “blend” in for many reasons.
This is also for many reasons stupid, the current artificial blue keeps reminding you that you are on a road instead of “blending” in. I mean we dont wanna have people feeling they are “one with the forest” behind the wheel…they need to feel and be reminded they are behind the wheel.
I dont remember exactly why the green ones havent been replaced but i feel some memberstates have had some compremise where e.g. all new highways must have blue but outside that, green is fine. Need to do some reading about this. Probably also expensive to replace them.
Pff longer comment than expected, nationality confirmed.
So this is why both Sweden and Poland win and lose at this game.
Blue makes more sense to me (simple as). You’re more likely to be going somewhere nearby than further, or at the very least care more about your next exit. Red is just going “ooh look how long our autobahnroute goes!”

Savages
That’s definitely not true in the Netherlands because from Amsterdam you see signs for Hengelo (Hengelo o o)
But at the same time that sign cintradicts the alternative because it doesn’t show Enschede which is further than Hengelo
Anyway AMERICAN PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN once said don’t believe everything you read online
Red countries: uncivilized savages.
Blue countries: based and roadpilled civilizations (and Barry).
Wtf red
Does it matter, tho?
weird why do we do that
There’s not many Pierres posting in here

I wonder why

If you cant sleep heres a nice wiki page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_European_road_signs
Lets use this map as argument for why poland isnt in central europe
Red make most sense if you think about it as a route/map laid over the road…
