    Is it universal? The list has tqk or three different designs for each thing, often quite different like the stop sign options.

      I tried to find the wiki page showing a comparison of all the nations versions of the roadsigns, there are slight variations sure, but the general designs are defined here:

      Here you can see a full table of European traffic signs in different countries:

        Haha I seem to get rate limited on images trying to load some of those pages, after the first 30 or so it just stops working.

        This most interesting one to me was the stop sign, which, from your first link, could be:

        octagon red stop sign

        Or it could be:

        triangle with the words "stop", with a red border around the triangle much like a give way sign, but then with a red circle around the outside of everything.

        However, from your priority signs link, it seems nowhere in Europe actually uses the second one.
