The factual accuracy of part of this article is disputed . The dispute is about
the fact that the signs seem to be copied from other countries such as the UK and Europe, which don't confirm to Saudi norms. For example, the fonts aren't the same, and the comma is not
used as the decimal separator in English even in Saudi Arabia. .
