⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true cognate. Note that in Italian 'segnale stradale' is a road sign, whereas in English you'd say 'road sign' not 'road signal'. The word covers both 'signal' and 'sign' in several Italian contexts.
To say "a gesture or sound used to convey information" in Italian:
segnale (true cognate — but used for road signs too)
"segnale" in English means:
signal, sign, indicator
Example
"Il segnale stradale indica la direzione per Roma."
"The road sign shows the direction to Rome."
