Sample question from test 5
signs
What does a small speed panel below a curve warning sign show?
- The maximum safe speed for the curve or turn
- The minimum legal speed for the roadway
- The distance to the next service area
- The number of lanes after the curve
Answer: The maximum safe speed for the curve or turn. The small panel used with a curve or turn warning sign gives the maximum safe speed for that feature. It is an advisory safety cue for negotiating the curve, not a minimum speed requirement or a distance marker. The number of lanes is shown by separate roadway signs. Drivers should slow before entering the bend so the vehicle remains stable and controllable. Braking hard after the turn begins can create a loss of traction, especially when the roadway is wet or otherwise difficult.
