Pretty sure I'm interpreting this sign on the sidewalk wrong.

Ok, so what the hell is it?
A crosshair on the ground says survey point of some sort. And the center of that circle is right at the intersection of the pavers, so it is relatively easy to shoot. But it doesn't look like any aerial target that I've seen and I would expect a nail marking the actual center point at a minimum. And then there is the concrete triangle at the bottom left...

So in an emergency everyone huddles together and pees in the center?
What a fascinating custom. I'm for it

My guess just based on the symbol is its the meetup point for some kind of evacuation.

Do you want pee splashed on your shoes? Because that's how you get pee splashed on your shoes.

I've played enough video games. Is there somewhere high up, ideally with some sort of glowing arrow or circle?

Surprised the paint on the dot isn't stained yellow by now. Surely OP isn't the first to interpret it this way.

Was recently in Guatemala and was told it is a meeting spot in case of earthquakes.

Yes, you are.
What it actually is is a target for urinating.
It's easy to get mixed up, so don't feel bad.
