Crosswinds sign
Afrikaans: Sywinde teken
What it means
To warn about strong crosswinds that could force your vehicles off course. Determine if a wind is blowing and from which direction. Any shielding of the wind by a truck, bridge or excavation will affect your vehicle and you should adjust the steering in time.
Om te waarsku teen sterk dwarswinde wat jou voertuig van koers af kan dwing. Bepaal of 'n wind waai en uit watter rigting. Enige afskerming van die wind deur 'n vragmotor, brug of uitgrawing sal jou voertuig beïnvloed en jy moet die stuur betyds aanpas.
