Curve and Intersection Warning Signs in Victoria: Bends, Crossroads and Side Roads

A warning sign alerts you to possible danger ahead. Take notice of it: that usually means slowing down and being ready to react. Curve signs warn of a normal bend, sharp bends or a winding road. Intersection warnings include cross-road, T-intersection, staggered side road and side roads on a curve.

  • Slow down before a bend, then accelerate gently out of it.
  • An advisory speed sign shown with the warning gives the maximum speed that is safe in good conditions.
  • At intersections, look for traffic and for signs and signals, and be ready to give way as the rules require.
