Caution - Raised Manholes - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Warn drivers and pedestrians about the presence of manhole covers that are elevated above the normal road or walkway surface. These raised manholes can pose a hazard by causing bumps or uneven footing, so the sign alerts road users to slow down and proceed carefully to avoid damage to vehicles or trips and falls.

This sign is commonly placed in areas where maintenance work has temporarily or permanently left manhole covers higher than the surrounding surface, such as after utility repairs or roadworks. It helps prevent accidents by making the hazard visible from a distance, especially in poor lighting or adverse weather conditions.

In both urban and rural settings, the sign is important for protecting not only vehicles but also cyclists and pedestrians who may be more vulnerable to uneven surfaces. It encourages extra caution and awareness to navigate the affected area safely.

Overall, the Caution – Raised Manholes sign plays a key role in maintaining safety by highlighting potential road or pathway irregularities, helping prevent damage and injury.
