I think somebody has vandalised that by turning the arrow upside down. They always point upwards for the main stem.

Anything is possible.
There's only four 14mm bolts to slacken off, slide the sign off, slide the sign back on to the mounting, centre and retighten the four bolts.

Twin mounting rails on the rear of such signs allow for minor adjustments to be made. Smaller signs tend to have only the one rail.

Both mean it's easier for someone to mount the signs in place, with the minimum of training.
