Example Use:
In the bustling town of Rivertown, situated right next to the old central train station, there's a notorious uneven patch on Park Street where the railway lines intersect with the road. Many unsuspecting drivers, especially visitors using the station, have been taken by surprise by this abrupt elevation, causing discomfort to passengers and potential damage to vehicles. To address this, the town council decided to install a bright yellow 'Bump Sign' well before the intersection. The sign serves as a stark visual reminder for drivers to reduce their speed and approach the railway crossing with caution. Since its installation, there has been a noticeable decline in abrupt stops and jolts at the railway intersection, ensuring a safer and smoother ride for everyone passing through.
