When you see a warning sign on the road, you should:

• A. Be prepared for potential hazards on the road ahead
• B. Immediately reduce speed to the minimum limit
• C. Ignore and continue as usual
• D. Stop completely at the next intersection

Answer: (A)

Warning signs alert you to conditions ahead that could require you to change speed or course. The best action is to be prepared for potential hazards on the road ahead. This means slowing to a safer speed if needed, increasing the following distance, and staying alert for changes such as curves, merges, construction, or changes in road surface. These signs don’t always require a full stop or riding at the minimum speed; they indicate you should adjust your driving to the upcoming conditions. Ignoring the sign or continuing at the same pace could catch you off guard and lead to a crash, while abruptly stopping at the sign isn’t necessary unless the situation requires it. By anticipating and adjusting to what’s ahead, you’ll be able to respond safely if hazards appear.
