What does a warning sign that says “rough roads” mean?

I don’t understand the warning sign that says rough roads. Why do we need a warning sign for that? Don’t you just realize that the road is rough once you start driving on it?

If you see a warning sign that says rough roads, you can usually take it to mean slow down. The sign is alerting you to a bad road surface quality in your path, which can make driving at
high speeds
 more dangerous.
You might see a rough roads sign near construction sites, as the road will often be partially torn up to perform repairs. However, a rough roads sign may appear anywhere that has dangerous road surface conditions. Make sure to proceed with caution when you see this sign.
While you’re learning more about road signs, why not learn how to save on your car insurance? The
