It does bring on another issue, and thats dual Language. This is a pet hate of mine. When we go to wales, all the road signs are in Welsh. With English below. Well for 100% of the people driving, English is understood. But Welsh is only spoken by 30% of of POPULATION. So a smaller % of drivers.
It takes me time to read down the welsh and get to the English.... Its a safety hazard! I tell folk but they never listen
