Pass With Care Signs
What does Pass with Care mean? Drivers should exercise caution when overtaking another vehicle, taking into account factors such as the speed and size of both vehicles, visibility, and road conditions; passing should only be attempted when it is safe to do so and with sufficient space to avoid collisions.

Example Use:
On a winding mountain road, visibility is often hindered by sharp curves, dense fog, or even the play of shadows at different times of the day. A 'Pass With Care' sign on such a road serves as a crucial reminder for drivers to exercise caution. For example, a driver behind a slow-moving vehicle might be getting impatient and is considering overtaking. Upon seeing the 'Pass With Care' sign, the driver is reminded of the reduced visibility and inherent risks, prompting them to check for oncoming traffic with added diligence or even to reconsider passing altogether until a clearer and safer opportunity presents itself. The sign, thus, acts as a safeguard against hasty decisions that could lead to dangerous situations or collisions, especially in areas where visibility is compromised.
