It's interesting to me that only Britain, Rusland and some former Soviet union countries move to the right

French guy looks exactly like Tintin. Oddly enough, Belgian guy doesn't.
(East) Berlin would dispute the example for Deutschland. Ampelmann is an icon.
Straight from a Tex Avery episode!
The Norwegian ped looks nonchalant as fuck. Obv the Italian is pure struttin.
Turkiye is approaching Poland, menacingly.
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.
That sounds like its making it worse. There is no reason to assume the pedestrian sign's gender. No one is stoping anyone from calling it the 'little green girl'
Lies. That is the old Finnish one. New one is this
Finland got slow?
everyone except ukeraine
i think you mean Turkey?
EDIT: on closer inspection there are quite a few countries going toward Poland but none of them are Ukraine
no it was just a dumb war refuge joke
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"
"Här går man, Herr Gårmann." as in "Hier geht man, Herr Gehmann."?
Correct
They did NOT take the Wock to Poland
The British are walking towards Poland
We're going to Amsterdam for drugs
It's ironic because the tradition in Europe is to aggressively head toward the Polish boarder.
They're aggressively moonwalking towards Poland
You’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by.
A smooth blitzkrieg.
or they are all moonwalking towards Poland
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. 
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.
I love being a pelican
Depends if you have the runs.
Meanwhile, pedestrian symbols in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine resemble the scene from Signs when the alien makes its first appearance.
