They've made up an acronym, then, to use on a perfectly acceptable existing instruction word. SLOW = less fast.....

Yes boxtops - see my post above.
It's more of a road safety slogan than an official interpretation of the road marking which just means - slow.

Slaney, short, concise, and to the point: an excellent answer including the word "slogan" and not "acronym". By the way, Neenee, glade you appreciated and learned from the course.

it would more sense as an Acronym if it was "OWLS".

Observe Warning Low Speed.

But then people wouldn't interpret that as SLOW.
