We go through all the trouble of making signage without language barriers and still can’t communicate, it’s ridiculous. I would 100% misunderstand European signs in a quick moment even knowing what they should mean, because I have to unlearn 40 years of sign instinct.
Yet you can understand a red light, even without a strike through. Europeans just consistently transferred the principle. A crossed out sign means the regulation ends there, which is extremely intuitive.

You have clearly never been to my part of America. There are no bike lanes.
