What does this sign mean?
- A gentle curve to the right ahead (Correct answer)
- A side road joins from the right ahead
- Right turns only from this lane
- A sharp right-angle turn ahead

Which best describes the road ahead when you see this sign?
- It ends, and you must turn right
- It bends gradually to the right (Correct answer)
- It splits into two one-way roads
- It turns at a right angle to the right
Explanation: This is the curve sign: the bend is gradual. Still slow down before the curve, not in it.
You see this sign on a wet night. When should you slow down?
- In the middle of the curve, once you see the bend
- After the curve, when the road is straight again
- Before the curve, while you are still going straight (Correct answer)
