Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
You see this yellow diamond sign that shows a truck on a downward slope. What should you do?
Correct answer: Check your speed often and use a lower gear; do not coast in neutral
Why
On a long downgrade, gravity keeps adding speed. A lower gear lets the engine help hold your speed, so the brakes stay cool. Trucks may go slowly on these hills, so watch for them and keep a safe distance.
