Ramp Ahead - Class RA1 - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A "Ramp Ahead" sign is used to warn drivers that there is a ramp coming up on the road. This advance notice helps drivers prepare for a change in road elevation, which could affect vehicle control, especially at higher speeds or in adverse weather conditions.

The sign should be installed before the ramp, giving motorists enough time to slow down and adjust their driving to safely navigate the incline or decline. It is commonly placed on highways, bridges, or roads with sudden changes in height.

Using this sign improves safety by alerting drivers to potential hazards caused by the ramp, such as loss of traction or the need for additional braking. It encourages cautious driving and helps prevent accidents.

Overall, the "Ramp Ahead" sign is important for maintaining safe traffic flow by ensuring drivers are aware of upcoming road changes that require their attention and adjustment.
