Yep - this is the case in the UK too.

It literally took a second to confirm that this is the case in dozens of countries around the world.

The signs have been standardised internationally in the Wikipedia.org: Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals in 1968.

World map Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals

yellow: signed
light green: accession/succession
dark green: ratified
blue: SADC-RTSM (similar)
red: SICA (similar to US MUTCD)

Among others, the USA (of course), Australia and China did not adopt to the convention.
