Traffic Sign Importance In Our Day To Day Life

By Grace Rivas


A traffic sign can keep you from wrecking and hurting yourself or someone else. These are not signs just for you to have some thing to entertain you. These signs are there to keep you safe and keep other people safe. If you happen to see a child crossing sign and you just ignore that sign then you could kill a small child and how would you ever live with yourself after that?

It is important that all drivers know all the traffic signs, this is why you have to know the signs in order to get your driving license. If you do not know the signs you could kill someone or yourself. These signs help all drivers know where and when they need to go. For example if there are two vehicles driving down the same street and a sign says to merge but neither car reads the sign then there is only one outcome and that is a wreck that could potentially harm someone.

There are many different traffic signs and you need to know them all. Most people that have been driving for years can usually know a traffic sign by the shape and color of the sign but it's still good to read the sign. You have different types of signs such as warning signs, restrictive signs, informative signs, priority signs and so on.

Glow in the dark signs or reflective signs are wonderful especially for people who have a hard time seeing signs at night time. Glow in the dark signs solve that problem. Most traffic signs are displayed where all drivers can see them however there are occasions where a speed limit sign on a small road may be blocked by a tree or shrub. In a case like this the town should move that sign or remove what is blocking it.

When you can not see a sign it can cause accidents or you could even get a ticket for doing the wrong speed limit. If this happens you should probably fight that in court because if the speed limit is not posted clearly where you can see it then how are you suppose to know what speed limit to go?

Have you ever thought about why signs are bright colors? This is so that you will see the sign easier. That is why signs are bright green, yellow or red instead of like a gray color. You would miss a gray sign but you would see a bright colored sign. Without signs our roads would be a mess.

We wouldn't know which street or interstate we were on or which street to turn on. You wouldn't be able to find a friend's house because you wouldn't have a sign to tell you the street name. Without traffic signs we would have very chaotic roads.

Our lives are easier and safer due to having a traffic sign. Most of you probably never even think about the importance of a traffic sign but they are there to keep us all safe. Without signs we would wreck every time we left our houses to go some where. Without a stop sign everyone would just run into each other and that would be no good.
