What does it all mean?

I suppose there was a time 5 years ago or more in Montreal when this sign meant something:


But with the increasing number of cyclists throughout the island of Montreal, is there really a point to such signs? Is it supposed to tell cyclists to expect, oh really, automobile traffic up ahead?

Provincial, municipal and police websites are unhelpful  in determining the exact purpose of this specific sign as they do not even show it on their list of road signs.

Perhaps it is simply to remind cyclists of the primacy of the automobile? How else to explain the choice of placing a car over top of a bicycle?
