Practice questions with this sign

What does this sign mean?

  1. A gentle curve to the right ahead
  2. Right turns are allowed only at the next light
  3. The right lane ends ahead
  4. A sharp turn to the right ahead (Correct answer)

Explanation: The right-angle arrow means the road turns sharply. Slow down more than you would for an ordinary curve.

What should you do when you see this sign?

  1. Slow down well before the turn; it is much tighter than a normal curve (Correct answer)
  2. Move into the left lane before turning
  3. Stop and yield to traffic from the right
  4. Keep your speed; it marks only a slight bend

Explanation: A sharp turn needs a much lower speed. Brake before the turn so you can steer through it smoothly.

  2. It has a series of bends instead of one
  3. It splits into two separate roads
  4. It bends gently, so you can keep your speed
