disagree  Ildiko Santana: sofőr is definitely not the right choice in this context.

disagree  Istvan Szaszko Dr.: Well,why would, e.g.gépjárművezetők (one word and not two as ehorvath suggested below),or even gépkocsivezető be better than sofőr. Why is there is a need to be deadly formal on a depot sign. (at least). On a depot sign you can surely call them sofőr.

  -> if you feel that 'sofőr' is better than 'gépjárművezető', than you should have agreed, not disagreed !

neutral  Ildiko Santana: Not bad, though missing all accented characters and g.v. should be one word.

agree  Adam Neudold: this sounds best, though certain buerocratically-haunted blockheads would certainly have bad dreams seeing such a depot sign

Autósok figyelem!


Explanation:
"sofőr" is not the best form, because it's a job. "autós" refers to anybody who drives a car

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Ildiko Santana: autós is driver of a car and only a car, drivers of a supplier are rarely driving cars, rather trucks.
3 mins
disagree  Istvan Szaszko Dr.: We are back to the same issue: the file I translated for Jim Blake is about lorry drivers on an ESSO site. So "autósok" is wrong in this case. Regards, Steve Szaszko

Járművezetők figyelem! OR Gépjárművezetők figyelem!


Explanation:
Attention: Figyelem
driver (of a vehicle, i.e. a truck): járművezető OR gépjárművezető
All: I would omit that in this particular case.
The word-to-word translation would sound awkward. The suggested translation assumes that all drivers passing the sign will read it and pay attention.
