What should you do when a winding road warning shows a series of curves ahead?
- Accelerate before each curve
- Keep the same speed until the last curve
- Slow down for better control
- Use the posted speed only after the winding section
Answer: Slow down for better control. A winding road warning identifies a series of turns or curves ahead, so Virginia advises slowing down for better control on all curves. Holding speed through the entire sequence can make steering and lane position harder to manage, while acceleration reduces the time available to react to the next bend. The sign is a cue to anticipate repeated changes, not an instruction to wait until the final curve. Scan beyond the first turn, ease off the accelerator before entering, and keep a steady path that leaves room for unexpected traffic or roadway conditions.
