Warning signs

Winding road ahead

What it means

A series of curves lies ahead. Slow down and stay in your lane through them.

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 arrow that snakes left and right as it climbs the sign.

Where you will see it

Mountain and lakeside roads, and highways that follow a river valley.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.Slow down before the first curve and keep a steady, moderate speed through the whole series.
  2. 2.Keep to your own lane; curves block your view of what is coming, so do not pass.

On the knowledge test

The snaking arrow means more than one curve. Pick the answer about a winding road or a series of curves, not a single bend.
