Example Use:
At the entrance of the Atmore Mall, the management observed that many drivers approached the main gate at speeds that were potentially hazardous for pedestrians and other vehicles. To remedy this, they installed a prominently displayed 'Speed Bump' sign. This sign was placed about 100 feet before the actual speed bump, giving drivers ample warning and time to decelerate. Additionally, the speed bump itself was painted with bright yellow stripes to increase its visibility. As a result, drivers, forewarned by the sign, began to approach the entrance with more caution, ensuring a safer environment for all mall visitors.
