Sample question from test 5
signs
What does the WINDING ROAD warning sign indicate?
- Three or more curves in a row are ahead
- A rough pavement section with repeated bumps
- A place where strong crosswinds are expected
- A single curve followed by a long straightaway
Answer: Three or more curves in a row are ahead. The WINDING ROAD sign means at least three curves occur in succession on the road ahead. The bumpy-road choice concerns pavement condition, and the high-wind choice confuses the word winding with wind. Treat the sign as a speed-management warning for a continuing sequence, not a single bend that ends immediately. Reduce speed before the first curve and keep the vehicle under control through the series. A practical cue is to count the repeated changes in direction represented by the symbol and avoid accelerating between them.
