To begin with, traffic signs or more commonly known as road signs, are those colorful signs usually erected alongside road networks to impart particular information to road users especially motorists. Since the ages of Roman dominance in Europe and beyond, pioneer road signs have been the key means of showing distance and directions to road users.
The middle ages saw an increased usage of these multidirectional signs especially placed at intersectional points as directions towards the major towns and cities. Conventional traffic signs however gained route in road transport soon after the advent of automobiles. Soon enough, at about 1895, an Italian Touring Club had devised the precursor to our modern-day traffic signs code system. Continued addition and regional standardization of the signs have seen a general semblance and acceptance of road signs as a universal system. But we are still far off a universal code.
The increased global immigration and human movement in recent years has seen most countries are now finding it necessary to harmonize their road signs to those that correspond to an unwritten universal code to adequately provide vital information to multinational users. The first move has been an attempt to present messages using predominantly pictorial signs that transverse language barrier. International citizens like frequent travelers are usually called these days will be able to drive in any country even with language barrier in place. Pictorial signs if universally adopted could go a long way in establishing a universal traffic signs. Pictorial traffic signs were first adopted in Europe and most countries around the world have followed suit.
Another key step is to simplify the street sign to a standard format. Basic traffic signs were first patterned in 1908 by the International Road Congress that took place in Rome. In 1909, nine governments in Europe had accepted to use the four pictorial symbols proposed by the Congress namely: bumps, curve, intersection and railroad crossing. By 1949 Europe had adopted a similar road signs system although US government defied to follow suit and designed their own system. An international system has however continued to develop, with North America, Africa, Asia and other key regions adopting international signs and symbols into their domestic systems especially since 1960.

As in all of Italy their are sign's on most of the streets but not all are on poles of their own they are sides of buildings now some of the small like what we call alleys will not have signs but about 90% of them will have.
Have a good time in Milan but I will make a suggestion to you keep a close eye on your purse or pocket book and if you have a purse make it small so it is easier to keep close to you and don't show excessive amounts of money if you put some money in your pants pocket and use that or credit cards would be allot better for you the only thing a bout credit cards you will charged international fee, but have fun thier are lots of sights to see just be aware of your surroundings I live in Italy for 13 years and people are great food in fantastic it's slightly high but if you go to these little restaurants you get more for your money and alot cheaper too.
hope you guys haven't drunk and drove! if you have, then this may be telling you, you got trouble ahead if you do it again! DON'T!
I don't know. I'll see if the NYC Department of Transportation has any reference to it and let you know.

I think the guy you are referring to was a young man by the name of Michael Fay from St. Louis.
He was convicted of vandalism and stealing signs in Singapore back in 1994.
Got 6 lashes I think.

GHOSTBUSTERS! love the signs
Hell No!! this is the United States.. if these people cant read STOP… thats not our fault.. they need to learn english.. Its bad enough in every city you go into, you see spanish on almost every building, you call someone and it says for English press 2… for habla espanol press 1.,.. It should be for ENglish press 1… Im so sick and tired of us having to make things so easy for them and they have no desire to learn english.. so No signs should be in anything only English.
Sandy:.. I live in the Southwest in NM.,.. yes we have streets in spanish names.. but the question is more less talking about signs like traffic… or directions.. I am Native American and dont like the idea of having to accomadiate to those who dont want to learn english.

Dogs are not completely colorblind (they can distinguish blue and green). Here's an article on dog vision if you're interested in learning more about how they see beyond their color vision: http://servicedogcentral.org/content/node/391
Guide dogs are not responsible for deciding where or when the person goes. Their job is to identify obstacles, offer suggestions for navigating around them, and to find specific things such as restrooms, seats, exits, and elevators on command. They also tend to learn several frequently traveled routes and can travel them on command.
Long before a blind person is accepted for a guide dog they must first complete and master O&M (orientation and mobility) training. This includes traveling with a cane. They learn to find their way around homes and office by memory and even to navigate streets by memory, counting steps, streets, and door ways to keep track of where they are. Even with a guide dog, the blind owner is still responsible for keeping track of where they are (even if it means continuing to count steps).
At an intersection, the person listens to the traffic to determine whether it is going parallel to where they want to go or across their path. Whether using a white cane or a guide dog, it is the blind person who decides when it is time to cross at intersections.
Guides are practiced at intelligent disobedience, or refusing a command that may put the team in danger. For example, refusing a forward command that would put them in front of a moving car or would include stepping off into an elevator shaft with no car. It is then up to the handler to figure out why the dog refused and what to do about it. But intelligent disobedience should be needed rarely because the handler is skilled at getting around in the world without vision, including crossing the street safely.

It's George Washington. There is a statue of him about a block from the stock exchange in front of Federal Hall, which was the US's first capitol building.
