Police forced to announce street sign will not lead to local ‘Squid Game’

British police were forced to reassure drivers that a new road sign will not lead to the Squid Games - because it features a square, circle and triangle.
Thames Valley Police has publically denied that the diversion directs people to the Netflix show.
The yellow board to the side of Junction 5 of England's M4 motorway features a triangle, a square, and a circle with an arrow pointing left.
The set of shapes is used as a logo in the Netflix hit series "Squid Game", where downtrodden Korean people compete against each other in deadly circumstances, for a huge financial prize.
But on UK roads the shapes — square, triangle, circle and diamond — are commonly used to direct Heavy Goods Vehicles.

Thames Valley Police’s roads social media account tweeted: “Evening all.
“So, we can confirm that by following this signage from the M4 Junction 5 in Slough will not lead you to the popular Netflix series #SquidGame.
“It’s just directions for diversion routes during the roadworks…phew!”
