I read the Wikipedia page, but I still don’t get what the point of this is. Anyone have a real world example of how to use the belt system?

One time pre GPS, I took a friend to a random party in the middle of nowhere Butler. I got lost and had no idea how to get home...until I saw a yellow belt sign, and knew if I followed that, I'd get back to somewhere I knew how to get home from.

It has major towns/areas listed on the signs for the belts, so it can give you a general idea on which way to go.
