Sign of a Tank

We sometimes say with kangaroos on the roads - the faster you go, the less time you'll be in one spot for a kangaroo to hit you.

@JudyEv Why would a kangaroo hit you?

@Asylum Colliding with a kangaroo is common on many of our roads - just like people hitting deer or badger or whatever. Kangaroos are very single-minded and have absolutely no road sense. If they want to cross the road, they cross and if a car happens to be in the way they just cannon into it.

@MALUSE Who said WW? Have you heard what "shatterbelt states" are? If not you better do some readings! Or maybe I should just tell you for the benefit of everyone. Theoretically they are territories caught between 2 powers, the Ukraine and Belarus are good examples cause it over laps borders and territories in this case between Germany and Russia To continue, ( I spaced if that would be good for your eyes). Recently some shatterbelt States has applied for NATO status, of course this would not sit well with Russia, we all saw the reaction when the pro Russian government of President Yanukovych was overthrown in the Ukraine so on and so forth. So this is what I meat by German forces ( most probably tanks) rushing to the front as a member of NATO. It's unlike the German blitzkrieg invasion of Poland which is entirely different. I hope you see and got my point!

@MALUSE I think i had been misunderstood, the "shatterbelt state" concept although takes into consideration actual physical, geographical territories and boundaries goes a little beyond that. It's about opposing powers and weak or weaker states in between. One good example was Poland before before WW2, it existed but the powers only saw it as between Russia and Germany. I think(?) the concept also applies to ethnicity of a region as in Russian speaking Ukranians.etc... Fast forward in time, with the dissolution of the USSR, unification of Germany, Poland joining NATO, blah blah blah....the concept, theory or what ever you want to call it is still very much applicable, NATO (Germany included and considered a power and now allied to Poland) as opposed to Russia. Now back to the discussion, given this scenario, it won't come as a surprise to see signs(maybe) or actual tanks move from one direction to the other, that's the reason why i speculated when I made the response.

@MALUSE Thanks! Will check out your link.

That was my thought too. Get over as fast as possible before the bridge collapses! But it has nothing to do with speed apparently.

@JudyEv Ohhh, okay. I guess it only means something to them.

Apparently it isn't a speed sign but another weight classification that the military uses.

I'd like one in my garden! :)

@JudyEv I have a photo album at home from our trip to the Czech Republic. In it is a road sign at a round about in Budapest that I still think of.

@DianneN We saw many interesting roundabouts decorated with all sorts of things.

We saw some very interesting signs.

@JudyEv are you you sure?

@alchemistrx Well, I was until you queried it!

I think it is a really cool sign. I want one for my garden!!

I want a sign like that to put on the front gate!

Now that Malu has posted her findings, we all know a bit more about it which is good.

I'd like a sign like that on our place - maybe at the front gate.

Malu came up with a good answer for us.

I couldn't understand why the sign hadn't been removed. But Malu has given us a good resource.
