    Literally the image at the top of this comment chain?

    Circular white on blue signs are “order” signs. Whatever they don’t show is implicitly forbidden, without needing a red circle “forbiddance” sign.

      America doesn’t follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs, so a blue circular sign would be essentially meaningless over there. People have never seen it before and won’t know what it represents.

      Edit: As another example, this seems to be the sign for a bikelane or bikepath in the US

      Canada does seemingly have an “order” sign, but theirs is a white circle with a green border
