Question 6742

What does this sign indicate?

  1. Danger due to a section of road with a steep uphill grade.
  2. Danger due to a height difference or an edge drop-off along the road.
  3. Danger due to a section of road with a steep downhill grade.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Danger due to a section of road with a steep uphill grade.

The arrow points upward, so this is the “Steep uphill grade” sign. The 10% is the grade, about 10 meters of rise for every 100 meters you travel, and a grade of 7% or more is considered steep. A drop-off along the edge of the roadway would be , the edge drop-off sign.
