What does this road sign mean? Taken off of Route 1, but not near anything that I could identify it with. I’ve looked through tons of Icelandic sign lists and reverse image searched, but still can’t figure it out. It’s driving me nuts!

I’ve never seen it before and I can’t find anything about it in the [regulation on road signs](https://www.reglugerd.is/reglugerdir/allar/nr/289-1995).

They’re new, just one or two years old. Not a very intuitive design, but I believe they were set up so tourists would get of the ring road and thread the lesser known roads and little towns on the northern part of Iceland.
Huh. That’s crazy and I never saw one of those
This is to indicate an infinity portal nearby
It means stay the fuck off that road at night. Trust me.
It’s a warning sign that you might encounter colorful abstract shapes.
The sign is cursed. You must get as far away from it as soon as possible.
I saw these last month & had no idea what they meant. Interesting stuff.
**What does Off the beaten track mean?**
* Leave the asphalt roads and drive on gravel roads for several distances (about 1/3 of the entire route.)
* Leave the wide roads and follow narrow roads through remote areas with less infrastructure.
* Drive slowly! Because of gravel, sheep, and birds on the road; give yourself time as the Arctic Coast Way invites to slow down to experience the pure, tranquil landscapes and their magic.
* The landscapes are amazing behind each curve – but be careful to stop at designated areas for photos and check the traffic behind you!
* When you see a blue M-sign on your side of the road – use the meeting point to give space to the opposing and oncoming traffic as the road is too narrow for two cars. Take it easy and use the time to watch the landscapes.
* Please stay on the roads. Leaving the road means off-road driving and is forbidden by law, with considerable fines to those who break them. Help to protect sensitive moss and vegetation.
Travelling the Arctic Coast Way (in north coast of Iceland) – A route of beautiful nature, try it out.
I should be traversing the ‘big thumb’ part of it next week
