Safety Signs

Safety Signs are used to alert or acknowledge people to something ahead. Warning signs can indicate any potential hazard, obstacle or condition requiring special attention. General warning signs are used in instances in which the particular hazard, obstacle or condition is not covered by a standard sign.

Safety Signs are needed to protect the well being of people and/or animals. Signs may warn of wild animals (moose, bear, elk, deer, reindeer, polar bears, camels, wallabies, kangaroos, alligators, etc.) or farm animals (cows, horses, ducks, sheep) that may stray onto the road. In the United States, a ‘Share the Road’ plaque is sometimes placed below these warning signs when used in this manner.

Safety Signs are an essential part to human culture. They alert us to many different obstacles or follies that may happen. Always read and respect Safety Signs, they are there for a reason.
