Apart from what some commenters already pointed out (about the orientation of the roads there), I'm not sure how it's going in the US, but in Europe, we have a hierarchy, where the sign on a pole takes precedence over the sign painted on the road.
The hierarchy is:
According to this, you cannot turn left, even though it looks like a left turning lane.
Is there such a thing in the US?
Yeah.
This is definitely not true for all of Europe. In Germany, for instance, signs on roads have equal precedence to signs on poles.
What do you do if they contradict?
Sit there untill either the sign or the paint fade away
Here in Finland we just wait for snow, then you can't see the painted one.
Which is why it was such a great idea to replace our solid "you can't pass here" lines from their old bright yellow to EU matching white so that that self driving cars understand them correctly. So now during the winter both of us and the machines can't see them equally well.
That’s the neat part: They don’t. At least I have never seen confusing signage/markings.
You sure have a lot of faith in people.
In Germany we actually test people before we let them drive cars. If you’re from the US, this concept might be unfamiliar :D
This has nothing to do with the drivers, and more to do with municipal workers putting up signage.
Lately the trend is for temporary signs to have yellow background instead of white. So if you see road construction you'll see a yellow background sign.
Orange you sure that construction signs shouldn't be a different color?
Yes, not yellow, not sure what I was talking about.
Oh, I was always told the yellow signs are suggestions
Yellow signs are suggestions or warnings. Always have been. Construction (temporary) are orange. As seen in the OP.
When it comes to what order on how you should follow them:
They are I just said the wrong color.
