I used to think the 'turn left with care' sign at the corner said 'Turn left with car'. This seemed so obvious that having a sign about it seemed silly. Once I mentioned this fact to my mother in a world weary voice. She found that so funny it became one of her favourite stories to tell other adults.
I guess in the US and Europe that would be turn right...
