Why does Australia use the same stop signs as the USA? Why do they have 8 sides? (instead of being a flat rectangular shape) And why does France have stop signs in English? (I'm sure I've seen some French stop signs in English when I watched coverage of the Tour De France on TV)

My guess is so that they are globally recognised easily.
I thought that was the UNIVERSAL stop sign. That way people from other Countries KNOW it is a stop sign. No matter what language they speak they would look at it and say oh that is a stop sign, even if they can't read it.

So that visitors from other countries (mainly the U.S. and the U.K.) know that they are stop signs. This is the answer to both questions.
