Example Use:

Imagine you're driving down a country road at night, where visibility is limited to the reach of your headlights. Just after you pass a curve, you see a Dip Sign illuminated by your headlights. This sign alerts you to slow down and prepare for a change in the road elevation. If you were driving at high speed and failed to notice the sign, your car could bottom out or lose control as it rapidly descends and then ascends through the dip, potentially leading to an accident. The Dip Sign serves as an essential warning to moderate your speed and exercise caution, allowing you to pass through the low section of the road safely.
