This sign means?

1. Winding road ahead
2. Crosswalk ahead
3. Sharp curves in the road ✓
4. Exit to the right

Answer: C. Sharp curves in the road

The sign means there are sharp curves in the road ahead, so slow down and be ready for the road to bend quickly.

Why this is the answer

The handbook lists this among its common warning signs, describing a sharp bend or turn in the road ahead. It also notes that chevron (arrowhead) signs are posted in groups to guide drivers around sharp curves, which tells you the warning is about the road bending sharply rather than about traffic, pedestrians or a turnoff. A separate warning sign covers a slight bend or curve, and another covers a winding road, so the sharp-curve wording is the one that matches this sign.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. Winding road ahead — A winding road ahead is listed in the handbook as its own separate warning sign, so it describes a different picture from this one.
• B. Crosswalk ahead — The passages describe pedestrian warnings in general terms but nothing that makes this sign mean a crosswalk is ahead.
• D. Exit to the right — Nothing in the passages gives an exit-to-the-right meaning to a warning sign; the right-side warnings mentioned are about a truck entrance and a ramp speed, not an exit.

Remember it

For a warning-sign picture, ask what the road itself is about to do, then pick the wording that describes the road shape.
