More symbolic signs, less word only.

^ That is the old "pavement ends" sign.

I didn't realize that sign was "old"  until I checked the current MUTCD and saw that it refers only to the "PAVEMENT ENDS (W8-3) word message sign" . Was the graphical sign decertified?

Both the text and symbol versions were in the 1988 MUTCD, but the symbol was removed in the Millennium Edition (the next full edition).

Not sure the rationale on that one...the symbol seems fairly intuitive.

Even European countries that use the Cyrillic alphabet have English STOP.

Typically written as СТОП (the Cyrillic letters 'es' 'te' 'o' and 'pe').

I know Turkey has a small bit in Europe. But it is mostly in Asia.

So is Russia!

Turkey's a member of the Council of Europe (OK, so are Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan), the UNECE (all the former Soviet Republics are in it), plays soccer as a UEFA nation (Israel's inclusion is understandable, Kazakhstan tolerable, but Turkey would be serious contenders for every competition, and would qualify for every world cup if it was in the AFC. Then again, Australia moved to the AFC from the OFC to have some decent opposition), NATO member, an EU candidate state (and is looking like it wants to be fast-tracked), etc

No one seems to have a problem calling Cyprus 'European', why then Turkey, which is in both. Sporcle, which are really anal on this sort of thing, put it (and Cyprus) in Europe (and the Caucauses in Asia).
