Hazard markers
Hazard markers warn you that the road ahead is about to change direction because of a:
- curve
- steep descent
- obstacle (for example, a traffic island or roundabout)
- obstruction (for example, the end of a cul-de-sac).
Hazard markers tell you the direction to take when approaching the obstacle or driving past the hazard. You must obey these signs.
