Fun fact, the red triangle with the white background design, see in country’s like Libia and Pakistan is actually the old European design.
But after ww2 and some united nations conventions, most of the world switch to the new USA design. (USA used to be yellow with black letters)

It would take a minute, or one bad mistake to get used to that “yield” shaped stop sign that Japan uses…

…Stop signs are typically octangle shaped so when it snows; one can still differentiate them from typical round sign… useless trivia I learned from a Driving Instructor years ago 🙂

Not sure if this is interesting for anyone else, but it varies even within the US. I’m a signmaker in Wisconsin, the spec in our state dictates a 5/8” white border while the federal spec is a 3/4” border for a 30” sign.

So France uses Stop and Quebec uses Arret?

In certain parts of Ireland we use the Irish version of the sign.

Never clicked for me but wow. I just realized my country’s stop sign is very unique.
Not that people actually pay any attention to it.
Chris Spargo recently made a video about the standardisation of stop signs
