Which sign means there's a double bend ahead?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Why this is the answer
Triangular signs give you a warning of hazards ahead. They're there to give you time to prepare for the hazard; for example, by adjusting your speed.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- — Black and white chevrons mark the outside of a bend you are already in, rather than warning of one ahead.
- C
- — One kink in the line means one bend, to the right. A double bend swings back the other way as well.
- D
- — This warns of a single bend to the left. The double-bend sign shows the road turning back again after it.
