Example Use:
Fire Station Signs can be strategically installed at various key points to alert drivers of the presence of a fire station and to promote safety for both drivers and firefighters. Start by placing a brightly colored and reflective 'Fire Station Ahead' sign approximately 500 feet before the actual fire station on both directions of the road. These signs feature an easily recognizable symbol that is reflective, making them visible day and night. In addition, flashing yellow warning lights could be installed above these signs, which would be activated when fire trucks are exiting or entering the station, alerting drivers to slow down and proceed with caution. This multi-pronged approach combining signs, lights, and road markings will effectively communicate the presence of a fire station to drivers and help to keep both the public and firefighters safe.
