I've been traveling around Japan recently and I've come across these stickers with the letter "G" and one or two arrows in many streets in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto.
Some streets have dozens of them. What do they mean?

It's a marker for a buried gas pipeline. Arrow points to where the gas heads to. The marker is used to easily identify which areas need to be dug up, in case maintenance (e.g. pipe replacement) is needed, or to avoid the pipes during excavation work.

Why the Latin letter G and not the first Japanese character in the Japanese words "gas"? Not universal or ISO enough?

@cat jisho.org/search/gas It looks like only one character would not be sufficient to know what might be meant.

@cat I don't know the reason, but they sometimes use nails with the word for gas is spelled out. There are nails that also use just a G. See link

gas in japanese is just ガス which is romanized as Gasu (and pronounced basically the same as terminaluare often ghosted), and all Japanese are required to study Japanese and so will know this romanization. why not ガ? I'm not sure...
