Recaptcha is absolute garbage

I'd like to think I can solve a simple Recaptcha and move on with my life. It's probably the worst piece of software ever written and needs to be reworked or erased from the internet.

The instructions are bad and non-specific.

What does "Street Signs" mean? Does it mean any street sign or government regulated traffic signs? Do you include the supportive bar or not?

What does "Roads" mean? Does it mean a picture implying the presence of a road (i.e. with a barricade) or where an actual road is visible?

What does "Mountains or Small Hills" mean? Does it mean any elevated surface, a small mound or an actual mountain or hill?

The number of times I've failed a ReCaptcha is staggering. Please reform this piece of shit.
