Drivers Alert is a proposed supplemental traffic sign meant to indicate dangers at intersections that primary stop signs may not adequately convey. It aims to improve safety by offering additional information to drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The sign is intended to reduce accidents and save lives at locations where stop signs can be obstructed from view due to trees, vehicles, or other obstacles. Statistics show that intersection-related crashes remain a major cause of traffic fatalities in the U.S.
