Warning signs

A-22 Steep descent

What it means

Warns of a significant downward gradient, i.e. a steep hill down. Plate T-9 gives the actual gradient in percent. Going down, brake with the engine in a lower gear so the brakes do not overheat.

In the exam

On a steep hill the vehicle going down must give way to the one going up if they cannot pass each other (unless the heavier vehicle is the one going down).

Legal basis: § 10 of the regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of the Interior and Administration on road signs and signals (Dz.U. 2019 poz. 2310, as amended).
