Warning signs alert you to conditions that are not normal or expected on the roadway. They’re there to cue you to slow down, change lanes, or adjust your speed because ahead there could be a hazard, a change in the roadway, or a situation that isn’t part of your ordinary drive. Examples include sharp curves, construction zones, slippery surfaces, or animal crossings. These situations require extra caution because they’re abnormal or unexpected, even if some signs routinely appear in specific places. Normal or expected conditions wouldn’t need a warning, and signs about temporary or permanent things still serve to warn you about unusual hazards; the key idea is that the warning is for abnormal, unforeseen conditions ahead.
