Add bold graphic punch and Americana charm to your décor with this vintage "Slow Children" street sign. Crafted from heavy-gauge metal and painted in bright safety yellow with black lettering and silhouette, this mid-20th-century road sign was once a common sight in American neighborhoods, serving as a warning to drivers to reduce speed near play areas.

This piece measures approximately 24" tall × 18" wide and shows authentic wear from age and use, including surface scratches, scuffs, and patina, all of which add to its industrial character. With bold typography and a running child silhouette, it doubles as both a conversation piece and a striking wall accent.

Perfect for eclectic interiors, loft spaces, game rooms, or collections of vintage signage, this piece embodies the intersection of function, design, and Americana history.
