signs
What does a New Mexico warning sign tell a driver about the roadway ahead?
- A special situation or hazard is ahead
- The roadway is guaranteed to be clear
- All traffic must turn around
- The posted speed no longer applies
Answer: A special situation or hazard is ahead. The manual says a warning sign indicates that a special situation or hazard is ahead. It is an advance alert, not a guarantee that the road is clear and not an order to turn around. A warning also does not cancel a posted speed limit or other regulatory instruction. Use the extra notice to scan farther ahead, reduce speed when needed, and prepare for a change in lane use, traffic control, surface, or crossing activity.
