Be Prepared To Stop Signs
The Be Prepared To Stop sign (MUTCD W3-4) is a traffic control device designed to warn motorists of an upcoming stop sign that will require them to come to a complete halt. These signs are typically installed on roads with limited visibility or unusual traffic patterns, ensuring that drivers have sufficient time to slow down and prepare for the upcoming stop. By providing an advance warning, the MUTCD W3-4 sign enhances road safety by reducing the risk of sudden stops, rear-end collisions, and other traffic accidents that may result from drivers not being adequately prepared to stop at the designated point.
