THIS SIGN IS USED TO WARN DRIVERS ABOUT:
LEFT CURVE. The roadway ahead curves to the left. Slow your speed and keep well to the right.
HIGHWAY AND EXPRESSWAY GUIDE SIGNS ARE:
Highway and expressway guide signs are are green with white letters. Most highway and expressway signs are posted the same way. For example, there is usually one advance sign which is followed by another advance sign. The third sign then is posted at the exit. Several signs are necessary because the high speed and heavy traffic on highways can cause drivers to miss seeing a single sign.
THIS SIGN MEANS:
DO NOT ENTER. The sign is usually installed at the beginning of one-way streets and ramps and it prohibits drivers from entering a one-way roadway where traffic is moving in the opposite direction. A "DO NOT ENTER" traffic sign is usually installed together with the "WRONG WAY" sign.

At an intersection controlled by a STOP sign, YIELD sign or traffic light, there can be a white stop line painted across the lane, and/or two parallel lines painted across the road. This is a crosswalk. When required to stop because of a sign or light, you must stop before you reach the stop line, if there is one, or the crosswalk. You need only stop at a stop line or crosswalk if required to by a light, sign or traffic officer, or to yield to a pedestrian, in-line skater or scooter at a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
THIS SIGN MEANS:
DIP. There is a low place up ahead in on the road. Water may accumulate in the dip and driving through the water at high speeds may cause hydroplaning, a condition when water accumulates under the tire and you lose control of the vehicle.

FROM THE CENTER LANE, WHAT MANEUVERS CAN YOU PERFORM?
