Warning signs alert drivers to potential road users or hazards ahead. Pedestrians are the most common example because signs like pedestrian crossing or school-zone warnings are widely used to signal that people may be crossing the road or entering the roadway, so you should slow down and be prepared to stop. Seeing such a sign should prompt you to scan for people at sidewalks, intersections, and crosswalks and to yield when required. While there are signs in rural areas that warn about farm equipment or situations where emergency vehicles may need to move through, those are less universal and more context-specific than pedestrian-crossing signs. Wheelchair users aren’t typically the focus of standard warning signs, whereas pedestrians routinely appear in the contexts those signs address.
