I think the purpose of this image is to make people go to the cinema to watch the

a movie that fans of dark and action packed movies should enjoy.

What are the purposes of the graphic product?
The purpose of this image is to make drivers stop when they are on a quiet road
in order for them to see when it is safe for them to go onto a busy road. The
white lettering is clearly standing out against the red background so people can
see it. The red also means danger and warning so people will follow the sign out
of fear.
