Does the visible sign in the situation presented, warn you of the possibility of encountering frost or black ice on the road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a two-way road outside a town, with a double solid line in the middle and safety barriers on both sides; on the right there is a yellow triangle with a snowflake - sign A-32 "frost on the roadway". It warns of frost or black ice that may occur on the road. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-32 "frost on the roadway" warns of frost or black ice that may occur on the road. The road rises between the barriers, probably onto a bridge or flyover - a typical place for such a sign, because a structure suspended in the air cools from above and from below and gets covered with ice when an ordinary road is only wet. Outside towns black ice is dangerous: at 90 km/h a loss of grip means no control over the car, and the barriers leave no room to escape. Warning signs require you to exercise particular caution - when the temperature is close to zero, beyond the sign you slow down, drive smoothly, without sharp braking or quick lane changes, and leave a long following distance from the vehicle in front. If the car starts to slide, you do not brake in panic - you gently take your foot off the accelerator and hold the steering wheel straight.
