    You have it on its side, it means "X-Men this way>",,,,,,,,,
    More "This is what happened when I,,,,," and less "What would happen if I,,,,"

    No, Chinese version of 'this side up'. Also used as 'do not drop'. International symbol for Men's/Women's room is the same except for the size of the skirt.
    Whatever!

    I guess you have to know the super secret code to decipher this? Otherwise, who would ever guess that utility poles are dangerous to climb?

    I don't know what country that sign means do not climb in, it looked more like the wheels go this direction to me.

    And all the time I thought it meant that the "black foot tribe" were to shoot their arrows in that direction.

    Wow! We have truly achieved BABYLON with the use of international symbols! No one knows what the hell the symbols mean unless you take a picture an Google it? Seems like a giant step backwards to me. I had assumed that they were supposed to easily understood by anyone?

    It`s kinda sad that we know what this symbol means, yet alot of folks don`t understand what an octagon shaped red sign with white letters spelling STOP means?Robert

    Maybe it is a prototype for the "mark of the beast" that Obama, Hillary and Harry Reed worked out. They just haven't figured out the "six hundred, three score and six" part yet.

    I was guessing a trail marker because of the arrow. Given its actual use, I am sure linemen know it's meaning.
