Are you warned in this situation of a considerable road elevation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you are driving along a street in a small town, and on the right there is sign A-23 "steep hill upwards" with plate T-9 "10 %" and sign B-33 "40". You are warned of a considerable rise in the road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-23 warns of a considerable rise in the road, and plate T-9 placed under it shows its value - here 10 percent, that is 10 m up for every 100 m of road; sign A-22 with a car going downhill, on the other hand, warns of a dangerous descent. On a steep hill, you change down a gear earlier so as not to lose power, and you do not overtake, because before the crest of the hill you cannot see oncoming vehicles.
Legal basis: § 10 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 24 para. 7 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
