These are common throughout most of the world except the U.S. They indicate right-of-way. As a driver approaching a bicycle crossing if you have the teeth then you must yield to any bicycle riders approaching the crossing. Those bicycle riders are not required to stop or yield. Alternatively, if the bicycle riders have the teeth and you don't then you only yield to those already in the crossing. Those approaching the crossing (from right or left) must yield to you. This eliminates ambiguity over who has right-of-way and makes crossings safer and more efficient.
