If that is the case, how stupid is that? If approaching a flashing amber at night on an unfamiliar road, how do you distinguish between traffic light and small square box?This refers to traffic lights set to flashing mode instead of red/orange/green, usually at night.
I also encountered a version of this sign on the way to Khao Tao:
The colour scheme was different (black and yellow), but still had the same mysterious chevrons. Just for HHTel, I don't know how many times I've driven past without noticing - actually I have seen and obeyed the arrows previously, but what does the chevron mean?
