Listen to this chapter: Listen Warning SignsHere are some common warning signs. These signs give you advance notice of possible hazards ahead. Drive with caution. ![]() Slippery When Wet. In wet weather, drive slowly. Do not speed up or brake quickly. Make sharp turns at a very slow speed. ![]() Divided Highway Ahead. The highway ahead is divided into two one-way roadways. Keep to the right. ![]() Divided Highway Ends. The divided highway on which you are traveling ends 350 to 500 feet ahead. You will then be on a roadway with two-way traffic. Keep to the right. ![]() Low Clearance. Do not enter if your vehicle is taller than the height listed on the sign. ![]() Bicycle Crossing. This sign warns you in advance that a bikeway crosses the roadway ahead. ![]() Merging Traffic. You are coming to a point where another traffic lane joins the one you are on. Watch for other traffic and be ready to yield the right-of-way when necessary. ![]() Pedestrian Crossing. Watch for people crossing the street. Slow down or stop if necessary. ![]() Narrow Bridge. The bridge is wide enough to accommodate two lanes of traffic, but with very little clearance. ![]() Dip. There is a low place in the road. Go slowly and be ready to stop if the dip is filled with water. ![]() Soft Shoulder. The dirt on the side of the road is soft. Don’t leave the pavement except in an emergency. ![]() One Lane Bridge. The bridge is wide enough for only one vehicle at a time. Make sure the bridge is clear of oncoming traffic before you cross. ![]() Pavement Ends. The road surface ahead changes from a hard surfaced pavement to a low-type surface or earth road. ![]() Right Curve. Slow your speed and keep well to the left. The road will curve to the right. ![]() Double Curve. The road will curve to the right, then to the left. Slow your speed, keep to the right, and do not pass. ![]() Winding Road. There are several curves ahead. Drive slowly and carefully. ![]() Truck Crossing. Watch for trucks entering or crossing the highway. ![]() Cross Road. A road crosses the main highway ahead. Look to the left and right for other traffic. ![]() Side Road. Another road enters the highway from the direction shown. Watch for traffic from that direction. ![]() Sharp Right Turn. The road will make a sharp turn to the right. Slow your speed, keep to the right, and do not pass other vehicles. ![]() Reduction of Lanes. There will be fewer lanes ahead. Traffic must merge left. Drivers in the left lane should allow others to merge smoothly. Right lane ends. ![]() Advisory Speed Sign. The highest safe speed you should travel around the curve ahead is 25 miles per hour. Advisory speed signs may be used with any diamond-shaped warning sign. ![]() Hill/Downgrade. Slow down and be ready to shift to lower gear to control speed and save brakes. ![]() Yield Ahead.
