There are plenty of painted advisory traffic/road signs, e.g. letting you know there is an upcoming sharp corner, a ford, that wildlife frequently cross an area, that the road gets narrow, and I'd call all of these a traffic sign. Wikipedia has: "Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or provide information to road users" OSM Wiki has: "Traffic signs give instructions or provide information to road users. Some signs are only relevant at the place where they're mounted (like e.g. a stop sign - called point-related signs from now on), while others affect a section of the road (like e.g. a "no overtaking" sign - called section-related signs)." -- Jono
