Fixed for me :sombrero:. However I'm playing using my forum customary time (six hours behind). In Europe signs other than big color ones are mostly wordless so we can recognize them even in countries with a very different language. Here is what we use for snow:
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Oowah Lake, in the La Sal Mountains east of Moab.  Home to the campground I had planned to stay at with my family this past summer, until car repairs kept us from entering Utah at all.

Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.
