Choosing a language is too divisive. Just have video monitors showing the sign's message acted out in charades.  Neutral, and fun for the whole family!

Don't make road signs. Have a horn on every street corner blare all the names in Morse Code.

Whatever it is, be sure to have a lower corner set aside to show its translation into American Sign Language.

Doesn't matter. Just put up a QR code on every sign so that each user can get whichever translation he needs.

Attendees should dress as police officers.  This will allow them several freedoms not typically enjoyed at roadmeets:

— the ability to park in 'no parking' zones

— access to active construction sites

— freedom to exceed the speed limit while in transit from place to place

— expedited service at the meetup restaurant
