It is a visual hieroglyphic depiction of the all of the lyrics of the hymn "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus."

I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back.

It's a "hamburger rotary" (see MA 1A/16/60 as an example), where the red lines represent the roads. The arrow indicates the direction of traffic flow is counterclockwise, which is typical in the US but not always the case.

What should you do when you encounter a traffic signal that is without power?

Shimmy up the pole and start fiddling with the wires. You'll be up for the "most dad-like dad" award soon.

And possibly a Darwin.

The Hokey-Pokey is prohibited.

In Blacksburg, we say "Hokie-Pokie".  And both of our marching bands play the John Philip Sousa rendition (with an extra boost from -sigh- the Sousaphone section).  [By the way, the Virginia Tech Regimental Band is called the Highty-Tighties].

I'm actually not familiar enough with the history of the term 'hamburger roundabout' to say for certain that it originated in the US.  For all I know, it came over here from England or wherever.

[Big John]

^^ Hamburger = resident of Hamburg in German.
