Si usa “la señal decía”, con el imperfecto, está describiendo lo que la señal comunicaba durante un periodo no específico o continuo. Es como una descripción de la situación. Usually imp is used with signs because they continue to provide info.

Remember that if the word “this” starts a sentence, it does not have to agree with the noun, but if “this” is after the noun, it has to agree with the gender of the noun.

Recuerda que si la palabra «this» inicia una oración, no tiene que concordar con el sustantivo, pero si «this» está después del sustantivo, tiene que concordar con el género del sustantivo.
