Traffic light. As in, "Turn right at the next robot."
Why is it called a robot? The story I heard is that traffic lights are considered a new technological thing here, and therefore, people refer to them as robots. Sounds like crap to me. This country has computers and mobile phones and even snazzy iPods, yet the traffic light is the big shiny new technology? Don't think so - sounds a bit insulting.
Anyhow - it's very common to get directions here guiding you robot by robot.
