Question 464 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A red-bordered white triangle containing a black wedge shape, high on the left side and sloping down to the right. Meaning: Steep descent.
  1. Dangerous ascent.
  2. Steep ascent.
  3. Dead-end roadway.
  4. Correct answer: Steep descent.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Steep descent.

The sign is read from left to right, and the black slope drops in the direction of travel, so it warns of a steep descent ahead. Before going down, slow down, shift to a lower gear and use engine braking so the brakes do not overheat and lose effectiveness. The steep ascent sign is its mirror image, rising from left to right.
