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.

- Mandatory right turn at the posted speed
- A curve ahead with a recommended safe speed (Correct answer)
- Right lane exit at the speed shown
- Speed limit increases after the curve
Correct 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.

- No left turn permitted (Correct answer)
- Left turn signal not working

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.
Question 6: What does a 'REDUCED SPEED AHEAD' sign mean in Manitoba?
- The speed limit drops immediately at this sign

Correct 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.
