If education is such a wonderful thing and liberal union teachers are doing such a wonderful job of teaching, then why do the road signs of today have pictures on them instead of words like the signs from back in my day?
Easy to answer. a picture is worth a thousand words.
We need tourists, so do we restrict travelers unless they speak and read English ????
Canada. as a tourest driving down the road saw a sign of speed limit 100. did not say Kilometers or miles----Darn I was young, but could not get the car up to 100 mph so drove in the slow lane 85 mph.
Driving up north of here about 35 miles one sees signs on the road for Moose area. Other places have billboards with the count of the accidents caused and deaths due to Moose wandering into the road.
The simple sign of warning Moose ahead is fine, as one travels 45-50 down the road the driver has no time to read the bill boards, Just a picture of a moose and the words WARNING saves many lives.
