California DMV Permit Test (Class C)Traffic Signs and SignalsEasy
You see a yellow, diamond-shaped sign with a black arrow curving to the right. What does this sign indicate?
- ATraffic merging from the right.
- BA right lane ends ahead.
- CA sharp turn to the right is immediately ahead.
- DA curve to the right is ahead, requiring reduced speed.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. A curve to the right is ahead, requiring reduced speed.
Diamond-shaped yellow signs are warning signs. A curving arrow indicates a curve in the road ahead, and a right-curving arrow specifically warns of a curve to the right, advising drivers to slow down.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A merging traffic sign typically shows two converging arrows.
- B. A lane ending sign usually shows one lane disappearing.
- C. A sharp turn is typically indicated by a sign with a sharper angle or a 'chevrons' sign.
Curve Ahead Sign
A yellow, diamond-shaped warning sign with a black arrow indicating a curve in the road ahead.

- Direction of arrow indicates curve direction.
Memory trick: Yellow diamond curves mean slow down, a bend is around.
