Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, you can see a white square board with the number "25‰" and a black area sloping down from left to right, which is the sign AT-3 "dangerous descent". This sign does not warn about a significant climb of the tram track - the answer is NO.
The sign AT-3 warns about a significant downward gradient of the tram track, of the value shown on the sign - here 25 per mille, which means a drop of 25 m over 1000 m of track. A climb is warned about by the sign AT-4 "steep climb", on which the black area rises towards the right. AT signs are additional warning signs for tram drivers. They are placed on the right-hand side of the track, above the track or between the tracks on the poles of the overhead contact line, 50 to 200 m from the dangerous place, and they oblige the tram driver travelling on that track to exercise particular caution.
