The Nature of Information
It is very interesting how we just skip by signs like they are not even there. I wonder how many signs we see each day and don't even notice. Me walking to class and the "walk" "don't walk" sign before i cross a street. When I am driving there are thousands. I believe the more we get into this subject the more all of us will understand why we have signs and why they are the way they are(why we know what to do when we see a sign). I also find it very interesting how we all could know what to do when we see a sign and do the same thing. How fast a sign can spread.

yes, its interesting to notice the agreement on a symbol. For the road signs, though, if you are driving a vehicle, there is a central body, which makes you understand and agree with the norm of a sign-the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Else you won't clear the written exam for a Learner's Permit !!!But, in general, there can be some less centrally controlled symbols.
