When you see a “Reduced Speed Ahead” sign, you as a driver should know:

That it's dangerous to slow down because traffic starts to back up.
That the sign is only there for poke-along drivers.
That you should maintain your vehicle’s speed until you get to the slower speed zone.
That you should begin to reduce your vehicle’s speed.
Explanation

Reduced Speed Ahead signs give drivers advance notice to slow their vehicle to a lower speed limit posted ahead. These signs are the same color and shape as speed limit signs, and inform drivers that they should gradually slow to the indicated speed.
