Reply to comment by Duke-Kickass in TIL that France and Spain "went to war" over a few stop signs in the 1970s and 1980s when France built two new roads that crossed a Spanish road and installed new stop signs which Spanish citizens continually removed over and over again for years. This became known as the "War of the Stop Signs". by AxelNotRose

Fun fact, even in France, a stop sign says "Stop". Just about the only place you'll find "Arret" signs is Quebec.

No shit? I did not know that. I’ve driven in Quebec, but have only been in de Guelle airport in France.

TIL something interesting about stop signs in the Francophone world. Thanks!!
