What the Supplementary plate — text message sign means
A plate with words on it, used when no symbol says the thing that needs saying. Whatever it reads applies to the sign directly above it.
What you must do
Read it and apply it to the sign above. It exists because a symbol could not carry the message, so the words are the whole point.
