We saw the great power of flag symbolism in "The Power Of Symbolism", March 2024. Ethiopia, in east Africa is really turning cars upside down by leading the way toward electric vehicles. It was the first country to ban the import of gas-powered vehicles. Part of the reason is certainly that fuel is expensive there, remember that Ethiopia is landlocked, but the country has abundant hydropower.
But might another reason be symbolism of the national flag? The colors of the Ethiopian flag are that of a traffic light turned upside down. Image from Wikipedia article "Flag of Ethiopia".
