Lawn signs are an inexpensive and effective way to reduce speeding in neighborhoods, around schools and school/pedestrian crossings. These durable 26" x 16" signs are made of long-lasting, weather-resistant corrugated plastic, screen printed with high-visibility blue and yellow colors to get the message across to passing drivers. Each sign includes a galvanized metal stake to insert in your lawn. A blank space is included for you to write in the owner's or organization's names.
