How does this letter-form communicate its location?

Sometimes you find art in the most uncommon places. We are so used to seeing graffiti and graphic art on food trucks but the minute you land in Chennai and take a ride around the city, you will see art is all kinds of trucks and buses. Here is an example of one from behind a cargo truck with the cautionary words sound, horn and stop written on it. Written below sound and horn are the words "road safety will save your life" written in Tamil, our local language. A short drive on the Indian National Highway is enough for you to see more such creative truck arts that you may not come across anywhere else in the world.
