Dip

An abrupt low spot in the roadway ahead; reduce speed.

The pavement drops sharply ahead, often where a road crosses a drainage swale or natural depression. Approaching too fast can bottom out the suspension and, in heavy rain, the dip may carry flowing water across the road. Slow down before reaching it.
