I think you mean weather fronts — yes. On weather maps the little shapes on the front show the direction the front is moving:
- Blue triangles = cold front; triangles point toward the direction the cold air is advancing.
- Red semicircles = warm front; semicircles point toward the direction the warm air is advancing.
- Alternating red semicircles and blue triangles on opposite sides = stationary front (little or no movement).
- Purple alternating triangles and semicircles on the same side = occluded front (the symbol side shows the direction the occlusion is moving).
So in general the symbols point the way the front is going, though actual speed and behavior depend on the larger pressure system. If you meant a different kind of “front” (military front line, etc.), tell me and I’ll explain that instead.
