Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
You see this sign: a yellow diamond with a black truck on a sloped black wedge. What does it warn you about, and what should you do?
Correct answer: A steep downgrade is ahead; slow down before you start down.
Why
Speed builds quickly on a downgrade, and heavy trucks need much more distance to slow down there, so stay farther back from them. Rhode Island law bans coasting downhill with the gears in neutral, so keep the car in gear. A lower gear lets the engine help to slow the car.
