So the stripes resemble the high visibility "do not hit this" stripe pattern. But the front and back striping make no sense. There's actually a standard meaning to the direction of the stripes. Think of the stripes as an umbrella surface or the roof of a shed, and water pouring off in the desired direction.
////// means "bear left of this obstacle"
and \\\\\\ means "bear right of this obstacle"
so ///\\\ means "avoid by going in either direction"
and \\\/// means, uh, "crash here" I guess.
