Traffic signs can be seen at pedestrian crosswalks, railroad crossings, speed warnings, school zone warnings, etc. Standard traffic signs in urban areas have illumination from surrounding light sources such traffic lights, security lights on buildings, and vehicle headlights. Compared to urban areas, rural area traffic signs often only are illuminated by driver headlights which is not sufficient. Unfortunately these traffic signs are currently the most common style of traffic signs still seen today. They are dependent on surrounding area light sources for illumination, outdated, and often ignored which ultimately increases the dangers of the road.

Solar powered traffic signs are the most up to date solution to increase traffic safety. These redesigned traffic signs prove to allow more visibility no matter of location or area. The number of fatal crashes just involving a STOP sign are the second leading result in fatal crashes in both 1999 and 2000 as seen in Figue 1. The inability to see a STOP sign due to lack of illumination are one of the leading reasons why these fatal crashes occur. Solar powered traffic signs would help eliminate a great percentage of fatalities by providing drivers with a bright, continuous flashing signal on the sign resulting in the sign becoming appearance becoming more visible to all drivers on the road. Inventor, David Hubbell states, "There is, therefore, a need to have an illuminated traffic sign that is visible to a driver before the vehicle's headlights hit it without depending on ambient lighting sources for illumination." cite{bierman2006self}

  • The way you change your section headings is very wrong. You should not use color there. Instead the definition of section and the like should be changed to colour the headings. But that's not the issue.

The following drops wrapfig and uses insbox instead (insbox is not a LaTeX2e package, but generic code, therefore it is input). If you encounter stuff that shouldn't be affected anymore you can use insboxrestore (which I just let to an internal of insbox) to end insbox's effect for the current and every following paragraphs. To get decent looking outputs with section heading a bit of manual placement is needed (hence the vspace macros) and the effect of the section suppressing the resetting of the next paragraph's shape has to be suppressed (hence the begingroup...endgroup pair).



In order to get a caption inside of insbox's macro, one has to use a parbox (or minipage) and the capt-of package's captionof (also provided by the caption package and the KOMA script classes).



To change the margin around the inserted image and the surrounding text, you'd have to use something like



makeatletter
setlength@InsertBoxMargin{<length>}% package default is 2mm
makeatother


Note that in the following I use article as I don't have texMemo on my local machine and won't search for it. I also removed your colors, as they are wrong in the way they are used, but can't provide a fix, because I don't know texMemo's internal structure.

      The following drops wrapfig and uses insbox instead (insbox is not a LaTeX2e package, but generic code, therefore it is input). If you encounter stuff that shouldn't be affected anymore you can use insboxrestore (which I just let to an internal of insbox) to end insbox's effect for the current and every following paragraphs. To get decent looking outputs with section heading a bit of manual placement is needed (hence the vspace macros) and the effect of the section suppressing the resetting of the next paragraph's shape has to be suppressed (hence the begingroup...endgroup pair).



      In order to get a caption inside of insbox's macro, one has to use a parbox (or minipage) and the capt-of package's captionof (also provided by the caption package and the KOMA script classes).



      To change the margin around the inserted image and the surrounding text, you'd have to use something like



      makeatletter
      setlength@InsertBoxMargin{<length>}% package default is 2mm
      makeatother


      Note that in the following I use article as I don't have texMemo on my local machine and won't search for it. I also removed your colors, as they are wrong in the way they are used, but can't provide a fix, because I don't know texMemo's internal structure.

      The purpose of this memo is to define "Solar Powered Traffic Signs" so that BACH
      Creative will understand why solar powered traffic signs are needed, how solar
      powered traffic lights work, and the different types of solar powered traffic
      signs available.

      section*{Why Solar Powered Traffic Signs Are Needed?}
      subsection*{Traditional Traffic Signs}
      Traffic signs can be seen at pedestrian crosswalks, railroad crossings, speed
      warnings, school zone warnings, etc. Standard traffic signs in urban areas have
      illumination from surrounding light sources such traffic lights, security lights
      on buildings, and vehicle headlights. Compared to urban areas, rural area
      traffic signs often only are illuminated by driver headlights which is not
      sufficient. Unfortunately these traffic signs are currently the most common
      style of traffic signs still seen today. They are dependent on surrounding area
      light sources for illumination, outdated, and often ignored which ultimately
      increases the dangers of the road.

      includegraphics[width=linewidth]{example-image-duck}
      captionof{figure}{Fatal Crashes by Traffic Control Devices [1]}
      }%
      }[13]% change this number if the number of short lines is wrong
      % group the subsection so that it doesn't interfere with InsertBoxL. If you're
      % not using `indentfirst` you'll have to suppress the indent in the first
      % paragraph manually
      begingroup
      subsection*{Solar Powered Traffic Signs}
      endgroup

      Solar powered traffic signs are the most up to date solution to increase traffic
      safety. These redesigned traffic signs prove to allow more visibility no matter
      of location or area. The number of fatal crashes just involving a STOP sign are
      the second leading result in fatal crashes in both 1999 and 2000 as seen in
      Figue 1. The inability to see a STOP sign due to lack of illumination are one of
      the leading reasons why these fatal crashes occur. Solar powered traffic signs
      would help eliminate a great percentage of fatalities by providing drivers with
      a bright, continuous flashing signal on the sign resulting in the sign becoming
      appearance becoming more visible to all drivers on the road. Inventor, David
      Hubbell states, "There is, therefore, a need to have an illuminated traffic sign
      that is visible to a driver before the vehicle's headlights hit it without
      depending on ambient lighting sources for illumination." cite{bierman2006self}
