Why should you not rely only on the posted limit when entering a sharp curve on a mountain road?
- A.Advisory speeds and conditions may require going much slower than the limit
- B.Curves have no speed rules
- C.The limit doubles on curves
- D.Gravity cancels out speed on downgrades
Correct answer
A. Advisory speeds and conditions may require going much slower than the limit
Why
A route's posted limit does not promise every curve is safe at that speed. Warning signs with advisory speeds tell you to slow for that specific curve.
