This sign means?
- Curve ahead — slow down ✓
- Winding road ahead, slow down
- Right turn only
- Right turn allowed
Answer: A. Curve ahead — slow down
The sign means a curve is ahead, and the correct response is to slow down.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists a warning sign for a sharp curve ahead and says to slow to the advisory speed shown. It also gives an example of a yellow warning sign for a sharp curve: the driver slows before the curve, not in it. The curve-handling section says the best practice is to slow down before a curve and avoid braking in it, because going too fast can push the vehicle off the road. That matches the meaning of a curve-ahead warning: recognize the hazard and reduce speed before you reach it.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Winding road ahead, slow down — The passages warn of a sharp curve ahead, not a winding road, so this choice adds a road description the handbook does not give for this sign.
- C. Right turn only — No passage says this sign is a turn-control sign that requires a right turn only.
- D. Right turn allowed — The passages do not say this warning sign permits a right turn; it warns of a curve ahead instead.
Remember it
Think of a curve warning as a prompt to set your speed before the bend, not to brake once you are in it.
