Of course monolingual signs can also cause confusion. The former Gaelic correspondent of "Scotland on Sunday" tells of how many years ago he was heading south to start work in Edinburgh for the first time, and as he approached the new Forth Road Bridge he was startled to see a sign announcing TOLL AHEAD, toll (twll yngh Nghymraeg) being the Gaelic for a hole, and wondering how the brand new bridge had developed a hole in it so soon, when it dwaned on him that the sign was entirely in the Beurla.
