La señalización vial, siempre catalogada como universal, es una expresión cultural de cada país por el uso y las adaptaciones de los códigos establecidos, porque delatan la calidad de vida de un país, su status y por ende la idiosincrasia de su gente.
Este libro nos abre los ojos sobre el verdadero significado de la globalización, puesto que no unifica, sólo confirma la diversidad de culturas.
