Reduce Speed Now - Verge Sign - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Instruct drivers to immediately lower their speed, typically in advance of a hazard, change in road conditions, or entry into a controlled area. This warning is critical for drawing attention to upcoming risks such as sharp bends, speed bumps, pedestrian zones, work areas, narrow lanes, or hidden junctions. The phrase “Reduce Speed Now” is direct and urgent, prompting drivers to take immediate action.

This type of sign is commonly used in temporary or semi-permanent traffic management situations, including roadworks, rural lanes, school zones, or near busy junctions. Placed at the verge, it provides early visual warning without obstructing the road itself. Its positioning at eye level for approaching traffic makes it effective in ensuring drivers are aware of the need to slow down before reaching the hazard.

By encouraging drivers to reduce speed in time, the sign helps improve safety for all road users, particularly in areas where sudden changes or unexpected obstacles may appear. Lower speeds give drivers more time to react, helping to prevent accidents, reduce severity of collisions, and protect pedestrians, cyclists, or workers in vulnerable positions.

Plays an important role in reinforcing driver awareness and compliance with site-specific speed management strategies. It is particularly effective when used alongside other signs such as speed limits, directional arrows, or hazard warnings, supporting a safer and more controlled traffic environment in both temporary and permanent applications.
