Manitoba Road Signs Flashcards

What does a sign with a curved arrow and a straight arrow side by side indicate in Manitoba?

Answer: Passing lane ahead — keep right unless passing

This sign indicates a passing lane is beginning. Slower traffic should keep right, while faster vehicles may use the left lane to pass safely.

In Manitoba, what does a sign showing a deer silhouette warn about?

Answer: Deer or wildlife crossing area

This warning sign indicates an area where deer and other wildlife frequently cross the road. Drivers should be especially alert at dawn and dusk when animals are most active.

What does a white sign with a black arrow curving to the right and an advisory speed tab below it indicate?

Answer: A curve ahead with a recommended safe speed

Curve warning signs with advisory speed tabs recommend a safe speed for navigating the curve. The advisory speed is based on road geometry and applies to normal conditions — reduce further in poor weather.

What does a round sign with a red border showing a left-turn arrow crossed out mean?

Answer: No left turn permitted

This regulatory sign prohibits left turns at that location. The red circle with a diagonal line through the left-turn arrow is a standard prohibition sign used at intersections across Manitoba.

What does a sign with the letters 'MPI' sometimes appear on in Manitoba?

Answer: Manitoba Public Insurance driver testing centre signs

MPI stands for Manitoba Public Insurance, the province's public auto insurer. MPI signs may appear on or near driver testing centres and service locations throughout the province.

What does a 'REDUCED SPEED AHEAD' sign mean in Manitoba?

Answer: A lower speed zone is approaching — prepare to slow down

This sign warns that a lower speed limit zone is ahead. The actual speed limit changes at the next posted speed limit sign, giving drivers time to safely reduce their speed.
