I'm surprised to read this. I'm pretty sure the norm in English is to add "s" even to proper names (like most European languages I think? but unlike French) so Legos would be logical. In French it would depend on whether

They're pretty common in some places. The E17/A22 entering France for example has these overhead signs[0] that go from 110 in good conditions down to 70 in very bad conditions or even 50 if there's congestion. There are also
