The Truth About School Signs

By Scott Murray


A school is a friendly place where students do get vacant learning positions and learn about daily life activities which they later apply in life under the teachers management. Schools to advertise and show their locations by putting big billboards in a visible place especially beside the road near the school or far away from the school. In regards to these school signs, details of what kind of education is offered in the institution and the students or pupils it does accommodate.

There are different venues where these billboards are placed in order to advertise, show school directions and elaborate more about the schools. When one does enter the school compound he or she finds many other sign boards showing different places where they are supposed to go through and so on. Parking area, classrooms, staff rooms and dining halls are labeled in order to promote coordination.

These small ones do help the visitors and students to know between different places of the schools compound. When visitors do enter a school with no sign boards of where the parking area is they do experience a lot of trouble while trying to find a suitable place for parking their vehicles. New students are also confused when there are no sign boards to direct them where different places are including libraries and classes and they end up missing them.

There are also other places where they are pinned and this includes busy highways where many vehicles do pass through. The main reason of putting them there is to warn motorists to limit their speed and allow students and other pedestrians that do cross the road while heading to school or work. Sketches of pupils crossing the road are seen on the road signs and other written boards like dropping and picking points of students and so on.

There are merits of having them on the road and any other places suitable for use. Accidents are minimal in busy avenues when drivers do follow to the later where these road signs are placed and they are not on the bad side of the law. Death rates along the roads also toll down since students and pupils cross the road without panicking about the impending vehicles.

In order to achieve minimal tragedy rates all road users and the management that takes care of the highway issues should join hands to bring these situation at a sustainable level. Road signs should be followed by both the road users and so do the traffic lights. Highway management that is part of the government parastatal should make sure all road signs are visible and everyone adheres to the rules.

Premature deaths do decrease at a high rate when every road user follows the traffic commands. Many are the times young dream chasers do lose their lives and there is left no future for tomorrow since they are the leaders of the next generation. Pain caused by death is no more since its never the best goodbye, their relatives are at peace.

We can only solve these road issues when all road user including motorists and pedestrians without forgetting the highway managing parastatal do join hands. Everyone should be the others keeper and no speeding should be done when students and others are crossing. Highway management should also put road signs everywhere to direct motorist on places where pedestrians do pass through.
