Light travels in straight lines. Light gets reflected and absorbed. On this picture there is a red stop sign. That means the colours orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet gets absorbed in the stop sign, and the colour red gets reflected. That light that gets reflected goes into your eyes and sometimes may be too bright. The advantages of this is that you can see more clearly so that when you're taking a turn in your car you can see that you need to STOP before you turn. You can also see the street sign in the night because the street lights get absorbed in the street sign and into our eyes so we can see it better in the night.

There isn't a LAW that requires it, but every property in the county was included and given a street address and location when the Emergency 9-1-1 telephone system was installed and activated. That's why you see so many strange sounding street and road names on the green reflective street signs.
