If you refer to the UK, where are the roadsigns pointing to Europe? What would be the point? all the cars would just drive off the edge and into the sea. I live and work near to a ferry port; the only signs are to the ferry, not to Europe. Besides, any sign that *did* say "Europe" would be pretty useless: one would want to know to which country one was heading, not which bloody *continent" (pointless getting the ferry from Felixtowe - dest: Hook of Holland - if you wanted France). Similarly, in your own country a sign saying "To other parts of Europe" would be useless!
Finally, if there were such a sign, then it would mean "Mainland" Europe
