Not sure what aspect of it would need to be taught?


That's part of what needs to be taught. It might be obvious to you and
me.


Without cheating and looking it up on Google, how many people know what
this symbol is?
https://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?

x=354045&y=179145&z=120&sv=354045,179145&st=4&ar=y &mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=704&ax=354045&ay= 179145&lm=0
-
the black symbol in the angle between the two motorways.

I happened to come across this symbol which I've never seen before, and
it took several attempts to find an Ordnance Survey Legend web page that
included it.
