Question 6334
This sign warns of danger from...
- a stretch of road with a steep downhill grade.
- a nearby movable bridge.
- a stretch of road with a steep uphill grade.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: a stretch of road with a steep downhill grade.
The downward arrow and the 10% figure identify the “Steep downhill grade” sign. Before starting downhill, slow down and shift into a low gear so the engine helps slow the car. Apply the service brake gently when needed, without keeping it pressed the whole time, because it heats up and loses effectiveness.
