Markers in 3's we believe are a FEMA/Geneva code relating to the Civil Defense protocols in article #66 of the Geneva Convention. We have confirmed them to be NATO military markers.

Whenever military considerations permit, internment camps shall be indicated by the letters IC, placed so as to be clearly visible in the daytime from the air. The Powers concerned may, however, agree upon any other system of marking. No place other than an internment camp shall be marked as such.

The markers below are the original style "highly reflective" DOT stickers applied during the 1980's in the state of Michigan. A style change came after ex-military and business owners saw the obvious "arrow-like" appearance of these markers pointing to their businesses, property and buildings along highways.
The military familiar with them wrote letters to state representatives claiming the markers were NATO in origin and wanted an explaination for their presence on American signage.
This ex-military and retired officers had seen markers like these in hot-spots overseas where NATO an UN used them to bridge language barriers amoung multi-national troops because they could not read the language of the nation where they were stationed. The markers are universal code devices.

Just look at this pic of example:

Ever heard of GPS technology?? Or road maps?
