In the situation presented, are you warned of the transverse unevenness of the road surface caused by potholes?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town between houses; on the right there is sign B-33 "speed limit" of 20 km/h, and under it sign A-11a "speed bump" with plate T-1 "20 m". You are not warned of a transverse unevenness of the roadway caused by potholes - that is what sign A-11 "uneven road" tells you, and here there is A-11a. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals distinguishes two similar signs: A-11 "uneven road" warns of a transverse unevenness of the roadway, while A-11a "speed bump" warns of a raised section of the roadway built deliberately to slow down vehicles. On A-11 the symbol is two humps, on A-11a - one gentle hump, as in the video. Plate T-1 shows the distance from the sign to the dangerous place, so the speed bump is 20 m further on, and the 20 km/h limit tells you how fast you may drive over it. Warning signs require you to exercise particular caution: you slow down before the speed bump, not on it, you drive over it at a right angle, without braking while on it, and you do not accelerate until the rear wheels have come off the bump - otherwise the suspension will take a hard hit and the passengers will bounce in their seats.
Legal basis: § 7 para. 1 and 2 and § 3 para. 1 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
