Safety measure awareness
A designated assurance 
Knocks at the reckless  
Road casualties are alarming

Necessary that caution
Be positively identified
Only at specified sections
One is to pass as advised

A public service to users
Wisdom comes too late
Ignored with dire consequences
Regret is the resultant take

Man and machine on icy roads
On a lethal combination mode
