> > 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.
