Warning signs
Bump or rough road
What it means
There is a bump or a rough stretch of road ahead. Slow down and keep control of your vehicle.
Yellow diamonds (and five-sided yellow-green school signs) warn of hazards ahead.
Summarised from ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart. Read the original: Signs signals and road markings ↗
How to recognise it
A yellow diamond with a black band along the bottom that rises into bumps.
Where you will see it
Frost-heaved pavement, patched roads and rough stretches of highway.
What to do when you see it
- 1.Slow down before the rough section so you keep control of the steering.
- 2.Hold the wheel firmly and avoid braking hard on the bumps themselves.
On the knowledge test
The guide groups a bump and a rough road under this one sign. Poor road surfaces affect traction and steering, so the answer involves slowing down.
