Why?

Triangular signs with a red border warn you about hazards ahead — they don't give orders. The cross symbol means a crossroads is coming, so slow down and watch for vehicles joining or crossing from the side roads. The Highway Code's traffic signs section groups all warning signs by this triangular shape.
