traffic signs history
TRANSCRIPT
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.
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.
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.
