Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of roads to provide information to road users. With increasing speed of transport, the tendency is for countries to adopt pictorial signs or otherwise simplify and standardize signs, to facilitate international travel where language differences can create barriers and in general to reduce the risks in driving. Such pictorial signs use symbols in place of words and are usually a result of international standards. Such signs were first developed in Europe, and have been adopted by most countries to varying degrees.

Q. The legth of a rectanular road sign is 2 ft less 3 time the width.Find the dimenision if the perimter is 28 ft
Asked by syretta - Fri Sep 18 16:56:35 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. set the length = x Therefore, the width is 3x - 2 The formula for perimeter is 2L + 2W = P Since you already have the perimeter, just set the 2 x values equal to it 2(x) + 2(3x-2) = 28 2x + 6x-4 = 28 8x = 32 x = 4 Then substitute back into the 2nd equation 3(4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 Length : 4ft Width : 10 ft Hope this helps!

Recently drove into Paris and saw a strange road sign with a picture of a car with the engine on fire.?
Q. Does anyone have a link to a picture of this sign or an idea of what it means? I saw it twice on the trip but couldn't get a picture.

A. It means vehicles carrying dangerous (flamable or explosive) substances are not allowed. You'll typically find them before a tunnel or any place where an explosion or fire would have particularly desastrous consequences:
