*Road signs are designed to make sure that

every driver or pedestrian is kept safe.
They help to create order on the roadways
and are employed to provide essential
information to drivers.
*Signs which are taken out of specific
places or not visible as a result of wear
and tear can pose undesirable risks to
drivers or pedestrians.
*When a driver or pedestrian uses bad judgment
while operating a motor vehicle, the
consequences can be tragic. It is difficult to come
to terms with the fact that you or someone you
love has become seriously injured or killed
because a driver has ignored posted traffic signs
or signals. This type of tragedy could have easily
been avoided if that driver had simply observed
the rules of the road like he or she is supposed
to.
*Intoxication- many drivers still decide to operate their
vehicles while intoxicated. It is very common for an
intoxicated driver to choose to ignore traffic signs/signals
or to simply not notice them due to them being impaired.

*
*Unnecessary- some drivers believe
that some traffic signs are simply not
necessary.
*They don’t believe they’ll get caught- it’s common
for some drivers to think there’s little chances of them
being caught by police for ignoring traffic signs/signals.
This type of attitude is dangerous one to have in traffic
as doing something like disregarding a stop sign can
easily lead to an accident that injuries or kills innocent
people.
*Head-on collision- is caused when one
vehicle strays into the path of another.

*
*Intersection collision- a crash at intersection is a
common type of accident. It involves two vehicles that
strike each other in an intersection.
*Vehicle-pedestrian accidents- when a driver fails to
obey a traffic signs such as stop or yield sign or a red
light signal, he/she can very easily strike and injure
pedestrians who are lawfully crossing the intersection
or walking near the roadway.
