> Are symbolic signs being actively promoted?

Nope!  Even here, where symbol signs are used, a 2-nd sign in words appear.
Some one who couldn't grasp the concept of the symbols and is most likely in
a position on how the sign should appear,  decides that piture symbols
aren't good enough and words must be added.

The common No Entry sign with the red field and a white horizontal stripe in
the middle in every country has the words DO NOT  inscribed on the top half
and ENTER on the bottom half.  Once in a while I will see a NO LEFT TURN or
a NO RIGHT TURN or even the NO U TURN symbols alone without words, but
extremely rare.

I guess when you have the lowest form of human life making decisions, this
is what you end up with.
