How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The colour street sign seems newer than the overgrown traditional monochrome sign, but in doing research it would seem the monochrome sign was a later addition, meaning the colour sign must also be a replacement and signifying at least 3 iterations of the same thing. I monochrome sign was probably left due to cost and time saving, or maybe just not being seen at the time on installing the new colour sign.
