Speed signs display the maximum speed limit allowed on a particular road or section of road. They help drivers know how fast they should drive to ensure safety for themselves and others. These signs are crucial for preventing accidents and keeping traffic flowing smoothly.

Patti and I were so blessed and touched throughout the day. It's been two weeks and we're STILL pumped! Let's save some sanity and some lives TOGETHER! It takes a team! - rl

I am here today because I know too well about the mental health struggles that come with being a 20-year first responder. My life inside and outside the yellow tape has been brutal at times. In 2020, I met with my best friend and brother, a career firefighter for lunch off of interstate 95. We sat for close to five hours and talked. However, looking back, did we? Obviously not due to the fact that seventeen days later he took his own life. I remember sitting there wanting to share with him some real struggles I was facing. I remember waiting for the perfect time to just start the conversation. I let the stigma stop me. I think back now, was he thinking the same? It breaks my heart.

Speed and shared zone signs are crucial in maintaining road safety and ensuring that drivers and pedestrians can coexist safely on the road.

"We must become fierce in the early recognition of a mental health decline in those we live with, work with, and most importantly ourselves." - Lt. Kenny Mitchell

It’s not easy to drop your shield and let someone know you’re hurting. But I knew something had to be done to break the stigma so we didn’t keep losing brothers and sisters to their own mental health. I personally hid in the shadows with a smile for seven long years! I know what that does to your mind, body, and soul. It’s what fueled me to launch the Operation Yellow Tape Mission, turned movement. We are creating a culture of men and women who are getting “loud and proud” about sharing their mental health struggles and asking for support!

In Australia, speed signs are usually circular and have a red circle border with a black number in the middle indicating the speed limit. The red and the circular shape help drivers quickly recognize that the sign is about speed limits. Australian standards ensure that these signs are uniform across the country.

The event was impeccably organized, from start to finish. The event's emphasis on camaraderie and inclusivity made everyone feel like they were part of one big, unforgettable family. - mk

Shared zone signs are road signs that mark areas where pedestrians and vehicles share the road space. These zones are designed to prioritize the safety of pedestrians and encourage drivers to be extra cautious. Shared zones are typically found in areas with a lot of foot traffic, like shopping centres or pedestrian-only areas.

In Australia, shared zone signs consist of a white rectangular sign with black text and symbols. This colour combination helps distinguish these signs from other types of road signs. The blue colour indicates that the sign is related to pedestrian zones.
