A quick public survey for the masses.

If you were driving on a road (dual C, or motorway) and
  • saw these on the back of a Police Vehicle(or HATO for that matter),
  • in front of you,
  • along with all the rear flashing emergency lights, and
  • that vehicle was in a running (live) lane
  • moving slowly or stationary
- what do you think they mean, and what would you do?

Learn Welsh?

I would guess it would mean move left from this lane...but it would be just that, a guess.

I'd see that as a command to 'Move left of me' and I'd pull over if the vehicle started to move left in front of me or indicated in some way that I should pull over.

I think if you had the space before the chevron, making it more obvioulsy look like an arrow, you might get the answer you're looking for.

PS - Saw an Abload escort with scrolling arrows today. Who says they're illegal?

Looks like lots of Rusky troops on red square day with their interballistic missiles, as taken from a satelite (at night)








I've no idea what so ever, is it some Hato baiting signal ?

How could it mean the same thing on an A road that it may on a motorway unless it meant take the next left turnoff? confused
