Warning signs, which tell you about conditions on or near the road ahead, are usually diamond-shaped with black symbols or words on a yellow background.

When pavement is wet, reduce your speed.

The road ahead winds a series of turns or curves.

This sign warns that pavement is slippery when wet. In wet conditions, you should reduce your speed, avoid braking or changing direction suddenly, and increase the distance between your vehicle and the one ahead.

That the new 35 mph speed limit begins at this sign.

That the new 35 mph speed limit begins at the next speed limit sign.

That you have plenty of time to slow down before the reduced speed zone.

That you should reduce your speed to 35 mph, but only under poor weather conditions.

"Reduced speed" signs inform drivers that they must reduce their speeds. If a new speed limit is posted on one of these signs, the new speed limit begins at the sign.
