Elm Grove Police Department has found a way to make people drive people slowly. To emphasize “Slower is better” they have put up interesting speed limit displays on roads. These speed limit display signs also show other figures like accident bills, chances of a crash and number of days one may spend in hospital bed in case of accident.

The figures on the display do make an impact and will certainly catch attention. But figures themselves are quite intriguing and amusing. How did they come up with such convincing exact figures? Wonder if they are real calculated averages? Numbers seem quite realistic though. Scores of people get seriously injured or die in road accidents all over the world. And most of these are avoidable deaths. Speed driving and crash are the common road accidents. Celebrities like Princess Diana too have died in road crashes. These scary figures and reminders are necessary.

Elm Grove Police Department’s public awareness campaign is very effective indeed. Drivers have to keep an eye on Speed Limit Signs while driving and these warnings will certainly slow them down. In fact these exact figures like 46 days in hospital or accident bill of $42,000 is will surely make people pause!
