[–] quink@lemmy.world 45 points 3 years ago (2 children) Me playing GeoGuessr I was once placed in Flanders with a sign near me saying "Wegdek in slechte staat". The wegdek was indeed in a slechte staat. Searching for pictures of these signs on Google, they seem to be accompanied by notes saying "Doe er dan iets aan!". permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 years ago (3 children) can you translate? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] sushibowl@feddit.nl 43 points 3 years ago "Wegdek in slechte staat" means "road surface in poor condition."

It's a bit of a national meme for Belgium that their roads are shit. Driving from the Netherlands into Belgium is noticable even for the blind. They are trying to fix that, but infrastructure replacement is expensive and labor intensive. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Weedbro@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago Road is malfunctioning. permalink fedilink source parent [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 years ago Stupid sexy Flanders! permalink fedilink source parent
