Slow moving heavy vehicles sign

What it means

To warn that heavy vehicles travel slowly down a descent. Slow down and, particularly in mountainous areas with sharp curves, be able to stop within the distance you can see. Remember to allow for a longer stopping distance on a descent especially when your vehicle is heavily laden.

Om te waarsku dat swaar voertuie stadig met 'n afdraand afry. Verminder spoed en, veral in bergagtige gebiede met skerp draaie, wees in staat om binne die afstand wat jy kan sien tot stilstand te kom. Onthou om voorsiening te maak vir 'n langer stopafstand op 'n afdraand, veral wanneer jou voertuig swaar gelaai is.
