| Abstract: | Road traffic accidents constitute a significant societal challenge, leading to substantial losses in human life and material resources. The escalating number of vehicles, driven by increasing motorization rates and population growth, has exacerbated this problem. Although traffic collisions are stochastic events in temporal and spatial dimensions, their global impact remains severe, with millions of fatalities and injuries recorded annually. A survey-based methodology was employed to assess public perception of this proposed traffic management solution. The findings indicate that the introduction of such signage could contribute to a reduction in accident frequency on Polish roads. Despite isolated dissenting opinions, statistical analysis reveals majority support among respondents for adopting green-bordered advisory speed signs. The research underscores the potential efficacy of non-binding speed recommendations as a supplementary measure to enhance road safety while highlighting the importance of aligning traffic regulations with driver behavior and preferences. The article analyzes the possibility of introducing a traffic sign with a green border in Poland. The survey showed that the majority of respondents (63%) support the introduction of a sign with a green border indicating the recommended speed on Polish roads. The sign is seen as a tool that can improve traffic safety, educate drivers and increase the smoothness of driving. Among the advantages of the proposed solution, respondents pointed out to the following: educating drivers on safe speed (38%), reducing the stress of mandatory speed limits (23%), increasing traffic flow (18%) and reducing exhaust emissions (10%).
