Are you warned in this situation of a steep uphill road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The sign on the right is a triangle with a car going down a slope. This is sign A-22 "dangerous descent", which warns of a significant downward slope of the road, that is, a steep descent. So it is not a warning of an uphill road - a different sign warns of a climb: A-23 "steep uphill road", on which the car is going up.
Both signs look similar, so you must look at the direction of the slope: on A-22 the slope goes down in the direction of travel, on A-23 it goes up. The Regulation on road signs and signals says that A-22 warns of a significant downward gradient of the road, and A-23 of a significant upward gradient. Before a descent, it is a good idea to change down a gear and use engine braking, so that you do not overheat the brakes.
Legal basis: § 10 para. 4 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
