There are a number of daily things that provide us with some form of direction, and one of these devices are traffic signs.

The traffic sign has saved a number of lives due to the ability to tell drivers when it is safe to drive forward, or not.

I would like to explain to drivers the history of traffic signs, and how these devices have made the world a safer place.

Traffic signs are helpful warning you of many things such as street problems, driving laws, and road crossings.

Traffic signs are specifically placed by engineers who have figured out that the placement spot is an area where there is a lot of

drivers that will need warning of potential danger, so when the signs are missing or damaged something bad is sure to happen.

Without road signs you would have a greater risk of getting into an accident, because drivers would be unaware of possible hazards

and not every driver drives the same.

Traffic signs are different shapes and colors to categorize and make them less confusing.

The shape is used to make it easily noticed.

Colors are used to make the sign stick out.

Stand out colors, like red and yellow, are used as immediate warnings.

Green is for guide information, brown is for recreational sites, and blue is for evacuation routes.

The number of sides the sign shows is based on the importance of the message that is on it.

You may have noticed a few warning signs along the road, these signs are called traffic signs.

Traffic signs are to notify drivers of anything pertaining to the roadways or traffic.

They're put in place to make sure that drivers are as safe as possible.

Any individual who wants to drive on to the roadway is required to take a driver's education course that explains, in detail, what each

sign means.

Not knowing or understanding the meaning of these signs can lead to a dangerous situation.

Learning the signs of the road is just as important as learning to drive.

If people were allowed to enter the roadways without knowing about the warning signs then something catastrophic could

happen.

Accidents would be happening everywhere and you would be constantly making repairs on your vehicle since there would be no

warning sign of potentially dangerous areas of your car.

Being familiar with traffic signs can save you from getting into wrecks and damage done to your vehicle.
