Curve, advisory speed 25 mph: A yellow sign reading "CURVE 25 MPH" is posted before a bend. What is it telling you?

Curve, advisory speed 25 mph

Correct answer: Slow down; 25 mph is the top advised speed in ideal conditions.

Answer options

  1. ADo not drop below 25 mph, the minimum advised speed in ideal conditions
  2. BSlow down; 25 mph is the top advised speed in all conditions
  3. CSlow down; 25 mph is the top advised speed in ideal conditions Correct

Why

The sign gives an advisory speed for the curve: 25 mph is the fastest speed recommended when the road is dry, visibility is good, and traffic is light. In rain, snow, ice, or darkness you should take the curve even more slowly, and the sign never sets a minimum speed.
