00 Hi there,02br
02br
00I'm trying to translate a joke that invovles the name of one highroad sign. 02br
02br
00''Driving on a highroad you see a sign that says the head road is closed, you have to turn right/left. It's a compulsory turn.02br
02br
00My question is: what do you call that sign?!02br

00We call it a "01b01i00highway02i02b00." If there are two ways to get there, and one is on higher ground, we'd say, as in the song, 01i00
