Currently, the State Department posts travel warnings online, but many people don't think to check a website before a weekend trip or a quick drive across the border. If people aren't aware that a specific highway is controlled by a violent cartel, they can accidentally drive into a life-threatening situation.

By putting physical signs directly in front of travelers at the moment they are about to cross, the government aims to prevent tragedies like the murder of Nicholas Quets. If this becomes law, travelers will have immediate, bilingual access to danger levels and safety maps right where they need them most.
