Example Use:
Imagine a narrow bridge on a rural road where only one vehicle can pass at a time. As drivers approach this bridge, they might mistakenly assume that the road continues as one-way, particularly if they haven't encountered any oncoming traffic for a while. By placing a 'Two-way Traffic' sign after the exit of the bridge, drivers are effectively warned that they should exercise caution and expect vehicles coming from the opposite direction. This sign serves as a crucial reminder for them to slow down, be vigilant, and possibly yield to oncoming traffic, thereby preventing potential head-on collisions on the bridge.
