What does a winding road sign indicate?

• A. A winding road ahead
• B. Stop sign ahead
• C. Narrow bridge ahead
• D. Pedestrian crossing ahead

Answer: (A)

Recognizing warning signs and what they tell you about the road ahead is essential for safe driving. A winding road sign shows a squiggly line, signaling that the road will bend back and forth with several curves ahead. Because of those curves, you should slow down before you reach them, maintain a steady speed, and steer smoothly through each bend, staying in your lane and watching for oncoming traffic. This sign indicates multiple turns rather than a single obstacle. For comparison, a stop sign ahead would be an octagonal red sign meaning you must stop; a narrow bridge ahead signals a narrowing roadway; and a pedestrian crossing ahead shows pedestrians may be crossing and you should be prepared to yield. Adjusting speed and being ready for the bends helps you maintain control through the curves.
