The answer, explained
The divided-highway-ends warning means the physical separation between opposing traffic ends ahead. Prepare for traffic coming toward you on an undivided road.
The pictured sign includes a divider at the bottom that ends in the direction of travel; the begins version places the divider at the top. A two-way-traffic sign shows opposing arrows without that divider and warns about traffic moving in both directions.
A common mistake
Reading the sign as the start of a median reverses the road change you need to prepare for.
