I would guess that roadway signage in the US runs about
80:20 textual:symbolic, but that the EU runs about 20:80,
with much heavier use of symbols, and use of text only
to modify or explain something not covered by the available
symbolic palette. Could any EU->US or US->EU migratory
drivers make their own estimates?

- brnt 6y agoIs signage not in the driving exam in your locale?
- supernova87a 6y agoFor someone coming to a European country and driving by virtue of reciprocal driving license permission (not having to take an exam), those signs are not at all intuitive.
