       | If you've ever taken the A10 motorway France between Bordeaux and
       | Paris, it's about a 500 km stretch that is fairly straight and,
       | thus, a bit boring. But seeing these golden signs along the road
       | was always a small event for me as a kid. They act as sporadic
       | milestones: every time you see one, you know you've made progress
       | and entered a new region.
