California Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs
What does a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a gently curving arrow mean?
Answer choices
- Livestock may be on or crossing the road ahead.
- The overpass or structure ahead has limited height clearance.
- The road curves gently ahead in the direction shown.— Correct answer
- A new lane is added ahead; merging is not required.
Why this is the answer
A diamond-shaped warning sign with a gently curving arrow is the Curve sign. It warns you of a specific road condition ahead: the road bends in the direction the arrow shows. Slow down for the bend. It does not warn about livestock, low clearance, or an added lane, which each use different warning signs.
