Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
You see this sign before a long stretch of road. What should you do?
Correct answer: Check your speed and slow down before you start downhill.
Why
This sign warns of a steep hill or downgrade where special care is needed. Slow down before you start down, and control your speed with steady braking and a lower gear if needed, instead of hard braking at the bottom. West Virginia law forbids coasting downhill with the gears in neutral, because you lose engine braking and control.
