Here is the press release including the features that come with the driver assistance package (for USA). I just browsed quickly and it stays pre-sense plus is part of DAP. Didn't notice anything immediately about traffic sign recognition

The DAP in the USA definitely includes traffic sign recognition. There is even a dedicated area in the virtual cockpit Vehicle tab that shows what the traffic sign camera sees (photo below). This photo was taken just after I entered the school zone.

Not to belabor the topic or doubt what you are saying but how do you know the displayed signs are camera generated and not nav database generated as speed limit signs have been in previous Audi nav implementations? For example, there are no stop signs generated as someone pointed out earlier or other traffic signs as found in ROW models. What I had asked was a link to some documentation that specifically states sign recognition is included in U.S. models.

In Europe it's a combination of both, nav data and traffic sign recognition, with the latter overriding the first if a sign has been detected. It's also noticeable after a turn when there is no speed limit sign posted/detected yet but the VC/DIS still knows the speed limit.

Today I did a drive through a bunch of construction with temporary 50 mph speed limit signs. The MMI picked them up and displayed them. Clearly these weren't in the database as they were only temporary.

This is in the Consumer Reports review.
We like pre sense since it gets you a high-speed forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking up to approximately 130 mph. A precautionary note: The adaptive cruise control has to be on for this system to work. So it is best to keep the ACC stalk in the On position at all times.
