A commuter in Bengaluru recently spotted an unusual road sign and shared a picture on social media, tagging the traffic police to clear the doubts.
Taking to Twitter, curious commuter Aniruddha Mukherjee shared the image of the sign showing four black dots on a white background. In the caption, he wrote, "What traffic symbol is this? @wftrps @blrcitytraffic. This is put up just before Hopefarm signal!"
Take a look below:
To this, the traffic police in the Whitefield area responded swiftly and explained why the sign had been set up. The officials revealed that it is a "cautionary signboard" which indicates that a blind person can be present on the road and therefore commuters need to exercise caution while driving.
"Dear Sir, that is a cautionary sign board which (warns) that a blind person may likely be on the road (and so you must) exercise caution while driving. There is a school (for blind people) at Hope Farm Junction where this board is placed," the traffic police said in a tweet.
Following the traffic police's response, several social media users lauded the move. "Wow. Never knew about this sign. Thanks," wrote one user. "Awesome I guess time for @blrcitytraffic to share some light on traffic signs daily on Twitter and other rules around it. Will help us educate further," added another. A third said, "Thank you for the education! Most of us are unaware of these road signs and their meaning!"

Meanwhile, this is not the first time a unique signboard from Bengaluru has gone viral. A while back, a Twitter user shared two images of a no parking signboard outside a house in Koramangala. One of these boards read, "Don't even think of parking here," while the other one read, "No parking, not 5 minutes, not 30 seconds, not at all!"
The post had led to a discussion on social media, with some internet users favouring the move while others speaking against it.
