When one is driving at 100km/h, “wordiness” is not really that useful.
I much rather prefer signage in Europe. Colours are consistent with the meanings (red is always “forbidden” or “not allowed”, whereas blue and white means the opposite). Same goes with geometry. There is little to no need for any more descriptive signage.
In the US, I find myself having to read three line signs almost constantly, some of them comically complex. There is even a joke in Futurama about that: https://youtu.be/-sHKlVRnfag https://youtu.be/-sHKlVRnfag
- crazygringo 4y ago> When one is driving at 100km/h, “wordiness” is not really that useful. Really don't know what you mean. Signs are large and visible from a long distance away. You've got plenty of time to read, and we're talking about short phrases like "EXIT ONLY" or "TOLL PLAZA 2 MILES". Not paragraphs of literature.
- manuelabeledo 4y agoJust saw one a few minutes ago: “Use of handheld devices is prohibited by law”, and then something else I couldn’t really read. In most countries in Europe that is just a phone crossed by a red line.
