2. Sign A also has two meanings, related to each other, used in
different countries. Give both.

Speed limit is the general meaning. In Germany, it can mean suggested
speed on the autobahn where there is no limit. But in that case, the
sign is changed a bit, IIRC.


7. Sign S does not show a pair of hammers, but that's what some
people thought it looked like, when it was introduced in Britain
in the 1960s. Eventually the design was withdrawn as being too
confusing. But you can figure it out, so you tell us: which sign
on the handout is now used with the same meaning intended for S?

Q


10. And to finish the round with appropriate punctuation, what is
sign T?

Generalized warning.
