There can be deadly consequences for disobeying traffic signs. When drivers disregard posted traffic signs, they put more than just themselves in danger. It is possible for passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers to sustain serious injury. Over 20 percent of all traffic deaths between 1997 and 2004 were from collisions at intersections, and an average of 2,967 people were killed annually as a consequence of accidents involving stop signs.
