Falling rocks sign

Afrikaans: Vallende rotse teken

What it means

To warn that rocks could fall on the carriageway from the left (W334, TW334) or from the right-hand side (W335, TW335). Slow down to be able to stop within their sight distance if a fall occurs or has occurred. Such falls occur more often when it rains and therefore reduce your speed further since your stopping distance during rainy weather will be longer.

Om te waarsku dat klippe op die rybaan kan val van die linkerkant (W334, TW334) of van die regterkant (W335, TW335). Verminder spoed om binne sigafstand tot stilstand te kan kom as 'n val plaasvind of plaasgevind het. Sulke valle kom meer dikwels voor wanneer dit reën, verminder dus jou spoed verder aangesien jou stopafstand tydens reënweer langer sal wees.
