Little Lambs uses the secondary entrance for their operations on <br /> the backside of the building,navigating to the appropriate entrance can be confusing for <br /> drivers. The additional sign would direct traffic to the appropriate entrance,increasing safety <br /> as drivers will easily be able to identify the correct entrance. <br /> 5.
