That's one thing I thought was interesting when I moved to the States. A lot of sign were written in English without any icons. "One Way", "Right Lane Must Turn Right", "No Turn On Red", and the "Walk/Don't Walk" signs. In Europe, since the countries are small and there's a bunch of different languages, it's easy to just drive all over the place, so the signs is universal icons and symbols with very little verbage.
Now that mention it, it's been a while since I've seen an actual "Walk/Don't Walk" sign.
