Question 440 in the bank

What are you required to do according to the following road sign?

A red-bordered triangle on a black background, containing a diagonal row of white cars one behind another.
  1. Correct answer: Prepare to slow down, if necessary. Pay attention to traffic congestion and adjust your driving to the traffic and to the road’s conditions.
  2. Continue driving and be alert about the conduct of other vehicles from your right.
  3. Obey the instructions of road workers and proceed according to the markings.
  4. Drive faster and overtake slow vehicles.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Prepare to slow down, if necessary. Pay attention to traffic congestion and adjust your driving to the traffic and to the road’s conditions.

This warning sign means traffic congestion lies ahead, so be ready to slow down or even stop, keep a safe gap from the vehicle in front and match your speed to the conditions. Speeding up and overtaking is especially dangerous because the traffic ahead may stop suddenly. The sign has nothing to do with roadworks.
