Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the benefit of a custom "Slow Down" sign?

You can tailor the message to your specific hazard, such as "Slow Down - New Pavement" or "Slow Down - Blind Driveway." By creating caution traffic signs with specific details, you provide drivers with the "why" behind the instruction, which significantly increases the likelihood of compliance compared to a generic message.

Q. Where is the best place to post "Slow Down" signs?

They should be posted in advance of areas where pedestrians, animals, or hidden exits are located to prompt drivers to brake before they reach the hazard. Just like diamond road signs, placement is key, the sign must be visible early enough to allow for a safe reduction in speed.

Q. Can I add my community's name to these signs?

Yes, adding your HOA or neighborhood name makes the sign look official and can encourage better compliance from drivers.

Q. Are custom "Slow" signs available in reflective colors?

Yes, you can get them in classic yellow, fluorescent orange, or high-visibility green with various 3M reflective options. For residential safety, we often recommend the same fluorescent yellow-green used for school ahead signs because it is the most attention-grabbing color for human eyes in daylight and at dusk.

Q. Can I include a graphic on a "Slow Down" sign?

Absolutely. You can add graphics of children, pets, or farm animals to emphasize why drivers need to slow down. Pairing a "Slow Down" message with animal crossing signs graphics creates a powerful visual that drivers can process instantly, even at a distance.
