Does the warning sign "frosty road" oblige the tram driver to exercise particular caution?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram across a bridge, and next to the tram tracks there is sign A-32 "frosty road". The warning sign "frosty road" obliges the tram driver to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
Sign A-32 warns of frost or black ice that may occur on the roadway, and warning signs oblige road users to exercise particular caution. On a bridge, frost forms faster than on an ordinary road, because the structure is cooled from below. Frosty rails reduce the grip of the tram's wheels and lengthen the braking distance. The tram driver reduces speed, brakes gently and, if necessary, uses the sander to increase grip.
