Example Use:
An 'End Detour' sign provides a crucial piece of information for drivers who have been following a temporary route due to roadwork, an accident, or other obstructions on their regular path. For instance, imagine a driver, Sarah, is navigating a busy highway when she encounters a 'Detour' sign, directing her to exit onto a side road. She diligently follows the marked detour route, which winds through unfamiliar streets, taking her slightly off her intended course. After several minutes, she sees an 'End Detour' sign. This sign indicates to Sarah that she has successfully completed the detour and is about to rejoin her original route or a main road. With this knowledge, she becomes more alert to upcoming signage or turns that will guide her back to her intended path, and she can also mentally shift from the temporary diversion back to her original driving plan.
