I  have seen that signal too and people told me it was a cops ahead 
signal.  They said the signal was to indicate the lights on the roof or 
the patrol car.  I think a "cops ahead" signal should definitely be an 
internationally known signal. 8^)  This one is as good as any.


Fare thee well for I remain Falvio and you are my people.
