I've noticed this in pictures from accross asia, including india, singapore, and myannmar. This doesn't exist in European or American road signage systems.

I suspect this is a remnant of the British era. Don't quote me on that. In Belgium we have yellow panted stripes to indicate you're not allowed to park. Similar.

I always though it was at the UN agreement for road signaling.

A lot of countries that that same standard.
