Warning signs
Winding road
What it means
A series of curves lies ahead. Slow down and keep to your lane through all of them.
Yellow diamonds (and five-sided yellow-green school signs) warn of hazards ahead.
Summarised from the Alberta Driver’s Guide. Read the original: Traffic control ↗
How to recognise it
A yellow diamond with a black arrow that snakes back and forth several times.
Where you will see it
Roads through hills, valleys or river crossings where several curves follow one another.
What to do when you see it
- 1.Slow down before the first curve and hold a steady, lower speed through the whole series.
- 2.Keep to your own lane in every curve; you often cannot see oncoming traffic until it is close.
On the knowledge test
Count the bends in the arrow: one bend is a curve, several are a winding road. Either way, slow down before the first one.
