Segment bisector

This street sign has a segment bisector colored black on it (also numbered 1 in green).  A segment bisector is a line or segment that splits another segment in half. This sign has a vertical segment being bisected by a horizontal segment to show that a left turn is approaching on the left of the main road you're traveling on. The equal segments are shown by the two blue dashes. Road signs are used on all roads to help warn and direct cars preventing accidents. Drivers all over the world use road signs everyday.  State and county workers are responsible for placing road signs in their proper positions. Civil engineers decide where roads should be built and road signs placed.

This was taken when I was driving in my car, on Old County, Rd. in Severna Park, MD.
