Road Sign with the Letter “E” Could Confuse Drivers: What You Need to Know
A strange sign with a crossed-out “E” is puzzling drivers around the world.
A peculiar road sign featuring a crossed-out “E” has been causing confusion among drivers — and for good reason. Its meaning can vary drastically from one country to another.
American drivers traveling abroad — especially in Europe or Latin America — might come across a white circular sign with a red border and a diagonal line through the letter “E.” This symbol doesn’t have a universal meaning; it depends entirely on the country.
In most European nations, the sign is placed near tunnels and indicates a restriction: vehicles weighing over eight tons or carrying hazardous materials are not allowed to pass.
However, in countries like Chile or Mexico, the same symbol means “No Parking.” In Spanish, the letter “E” comes from Estacionar, which means “to park.”
Experts advise travelers to study the local traffic rules before hitting the road abroad — even familiar-looking signs might mean something completely different.
