Gravel road begins sign

What it means

To warn that the tarred road you are driving on will end soon and will have a gravel surface ahead. Slow down and look out for a ditches or potholes at the joint between the gravel and the tarred surface. Steering will be lighter on the gravel, vehicles will tend to skid easier and will need a longer stopping distance.

Om te waarsku dat die teerpad waarop jy ry binnekort sal eindig en 'n gruisoppervlak vorentoe sal hê. Verminder spoed en kyk uit vir slote of slaggate by die voeg tussen die gruis en die teeroppervlak. Stuur sal ligter wees op die gruis, voertuie sal geneig wees om makliker te gly en sal 'n langer stopafstand nodig hê.

Where you’ll see it

On any tarred road, especially in the vicinity of farms.

Op enige teerpad, veral in die omgewing van plase.
