creating signs that are not only visible and legible but also universally understandable.
 Good signage design enhances road safety, reduces accidents, and improves the overall driving
experience. It helps drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians navigate our roads with confidence and
certainty.
 Adherence to mandatory signs is not just a suggestion; it's a legal requirement that, when
ignored, can lead to penalties and consequences.
 Uniformity in sign design is crucial, as it ensures that signs remain consistent and easily
recognizable, irrespective of where one is on the road.
 As responsible road users, let's commit to following mandatory signs, obeying the rules of the
road, and appreciating the importance of well-designed signage in keeping us safe.
