This doesn't really cross cultural boundaries. For example, the skull and crossbones means nothing to Iraqis despite universally being seen as as sign of danger

  What cultural boundaries are there to cross? You're asked to point out the designated crossing area for pedestrians across a street. Sure, some places use crosswalk stripes perpendicular to the street, others use squiggles, others use lines on the sides, and some don't use any markings at all, but it should be plainly obvious to anyone, anywhere in the world where the designated area is based on there being some marking, or control devices, or literally people walking in the photo. This isn't rocket science. Using contextual clues to figure something out is literally one of the most basic human abilities.

    I share your frustration but I’ve come to learn that a lot of people don’t process things contextually and have an extremely difficult time with problems or reading that require picking up context clues.
