My favorite American road sign is the one about Hazmats.
Most Americans don't know this "word" until they run into it.
Apparently "Hazardous materials" or "Trucks carrying hazardous
materials" doesn't fit on the sign.
Now that we know that hexagon means French, what language does "long and
winding" represent? I run into it a lot...
