One key downside of languages in which verbs are conjugated is that "SLOW CHILDREN" signs aren't funny anymore. Without this bit of classic comedy, how do Francophones find the will to survive?
The word ralentir is an infinitive verb and would never be misread as an adjective. Sigh
I'd say the image part of the sign provides the classic comedy. Are they running away with the stinky cheese?
