Description

This image illustrates the "Street Light" sign, which is typically rectangular. A rectangle is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides that are equal and parallel, and four right angles. In this case the rectangle is rotated to look like a diamond shape.

Rectangular signs are commonly used for informational purposes, providing clear and straightforward messages. The symmetry and simplicity of a rectangle make it a practical choice for road signs that convey information about street lighting or other amenities.
