What do the black and yellow shape symbols found on direction signs mean?

 Some direction signs have small coloured shapes patched on – a circle, square, diamond or triangle – in black and yellow. These are motorway diversion routes. In the event of a motorway being closed, “trigger signs” would be placed (or in some locations, opened out as they are permanent fixtures) to instruct drivers to follow a certain shape on signs to rejoin the motorway at the next junction.

There are a range of different shapes to allow diversions for opposing directions and different motorways to cross without conflicting. Often the symbols are stuck haphazardly onto existing signage.
