Sign-1

Iconic
This photo is an example of an iconic sign because of 3 things. First the color of the sign, yellow, signifies caution, to watch out for something or someone. Second the letters spell out "CAUTION" so this is also a representation to look out and be alert. And third, what looks to be the mother, because of height and authority of taking the hand of the small one, and two children, thought to be children of their size and being with an adult, running is a sign that we know to be crossing the street since this is where this sign is placed. We know they are running because they are leaning forward and their legs are at angles. Lastly, we know they are leaning forward because knees only bend one way.
