Usage Note: Slow may sometimes be used instead of slowly when it comes after the verb: We drove the car slow. In formal writing slowly is generally preferred. Slow is often used in speech and informal writing, especially when brevity and forcefulness are sought: Drive slow! Slow is also the established idiomatic form with certain senses of common verbs: The watch runs slow. Take it slow.

What does that have to do with anything else on this page?

Not a dang thing. I came back on too late to leave those replies in their proper place. “Oops, I did it again” LOL !

they do their best to try to accommodate us non-japanese type visitors here in japan by posting bilingual road signs (and in some areas multilingual), but since japanese never consult native speakers about translation the results are usually an approximation of what was meant. safety drive is one of the most common road signs…

I’d hate to think what she’d do with a “SLOW CHILDREN” sign.

Good for her!

Not so FAST, Gary and Susie! “Slow” is fine: https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/tag/drive-slow/

Good for her! I want to do the same to any sign that uses an " ‘s" to make a word plural. Example: coke’s instead of cokes. I don’t know when this started, but it has become common practice nowadays. Don’t get me started on the misuse of “it’s” and “its.”

Big long “thing” about this distinction, much ink if not blood spilled in various fora. It turns out that both “slow” and “slowly” are legitimate adjectives.

But, be sure to drive friendlily, y’all!
