What does the Winding Road warning sign indicate?
-
A.
The road contains a series of turns or curves Correct
-
B.
A single curve is ahead in the road
-
C.
The road curves right, then immediately left
-
D.
A sharp turn is at the sign location
The answer is "The road contains a series of turns or curves"
The Winding Road sign tells you the road ahead contains a series of turns or curves. It is distinct from the Curve sign (one curve ahead), the Reversing Curves sign (one right then one left), and the Sharp Turn sign (a single sharp angle). Each curve-warning sign uses a different symbol shape.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. A single curve is ahead in the road
A single curve ahead is shown by the Curve sign, not the Winding Road sign. Misreading: Confuses Winding Road with the Curve sign, which the manual defines separately as 'There is a curve ahead.'
C. The road curves right, then immediately left
A right-then-left pattern is shown by the Reversing Curves sign. Misreading: Confuses Winding Road with Reversing Curves, which the manual defines as 'The road ahead curves to the right, then left.'
D. A sharp turn is at the sign location
A sharp turn at the sign is shown by the Sharp Turn or Chevron sign. Misreading: Confuses Winding Road with the Sharp Turn or Chevron sign, which the manual ties to a sharp turn or change in direction at the sign.
