This sign means?
- Sharp bend in the road
- Road may be slippery ahead ✓
- Bumpy road ahead
- Winding road ahead
Answer: B. Road may be slippery ahead
The sign means that the road may be slippery ahead.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's warning-sign list names “Road may be slippery ahead” as one of the hazards warning signs can show. Warning signs tell you about possible hazards ahead, so this sign is not about a bend, bumps, or a winding route; its specific message is that the road surface may not give good grip. The rain section adds that slippery roads call for slower speed and gentler braking, which fits the warning's purpose.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Sharp bend in the road — A sharp bend is a different warning message; the handbook lists a sharp curve ahead separately from the slippery-road warning.
- C. Bumpy road ahead — The handbook's warning-sign list does not give bumpy road ahead as the meaning of this sign.
- D. Winding road ahead — Winding road ahead is not the listed warning message; the passage specifically names road may be slippery ahead.
Remember it
Slippery sign, smooth driving: slow down and brake gently.
