What should you do when you see a warning sign?

• A. Ignore it
• B. Slow down and be prepared to adjust speed or route
• C. Stop immediately
• D. Turn around

Answer: (B)

Warning signs are cues to expect hazards ahead, so you should act with extra caution. Slowing down and being prepared to adjust your speed or route gives you time to read the situation, respond to changes in the road, and avoid sudden, risky maneuvers. This could mean easing off for a sharp bend, preparing for construction or a lane shift, or allowing for stopped or slower traffic ahead. Keeping speed controlled and staying alert helps you absorb information from the sign, signals, and surrounding traffic so you can navigate safely. Ignoring the sign or stopping abruptly isn’t appropriate in most cases, and turning around on many roads isn’t safe or allowed.
