Does this sign warn you of an area that experiences intense precipitation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in fog on a road outside town, and on the right there is a yellow triangular sign with a snowflake symbol - A-32 "frost on the roadway". This sign does not warn of a place with intense precipitation. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-32 warns of possible frost or black ice on the roadway. It is placed where frost and ice appear more often than elsewhere - on bridges, in valleys, near forests and bodies of water - because the roadway cools down faster there. The snowflake on the sign does not refer to the weather, only to a slippery surface. When you see this sign at a temperature close to zero, you slow down, do not brake sharply and do not make sudden steering movements, because on ice the car responds with a delay.
Legal basis: § 12 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
