This is how it looks in 99% of Czech Republic.
It changes to terrain signs painted on trees sometimes but it is also standard. I found 2 other signs for cyclists, some cross border route that decided to make their own on both sides. And still most cross border routes use cz standard signage.
So how it looks where you live? Am I just too spoiled by standards for hiking and cycling signage?
I think you're supposed to go left.
For real, this happens because no single entity designs and maintains the bike infrastructure, but multiple. That's federalism for you; nothing to be done about it. ๐
In CZ it is maintained by KฤT, first routes for hikers were painted in 1880's by them (and we were the same country).
So in 100+ years their signs became standard here. Some routes aren't maintained by KฤT but still they use the same signs, for example A/CZ partnership routes or south Moravia vineyard routes.
I was talking about Austria. Some of those signs are municipality, some are nation, some are union, and some might be privately funded.
But yeah, it's a mess, and most of the signs are a real eye sore.
I know there is this reason, but I just say that it is not only one entity that uses them.
