The roadway surface changes from pavement to an unpaved surface ahead.
A construction zone is beginning immediately.
A dead-end street with no outlet is ahead.
Question 2: When you see this sign, what's the safest immediate action?
Reduce speed and prepare for reduced traction or loose surface.
Speed up to cross the unpaved area quickly.
Immediately stop in the travel lane to inspect the road.
Question 3: How should following distance change after pavement ends?
Increase following distance to allow more reaction time and account for dust or loose gravel.
Decrease following distance to discourage tailgaters.
Keep the same following distance as on pavement.
Question 4: Which vehicle control is most important when transitioning from pavement to gravel?
Rapid lane changes to find better pavement.
Quick, hard braking to slow immediately.
Smooth steering and gentle braking or acceleration to avoid skids.
Question 5: If visibility drops due to dust after pavement ends, what should you do?
Keep your speed and flash high beams to penetrate dust.
Speed up to get through the dust cloud faster.
Slow down, turn on headlights, and pull over if you can't see safely.
Question 6: Which hazard is commonly increased on an unpaved surface after the sign?
Loose gravel, which can reduce traction and increase stopping distance.
New traffic signals immediately after the sign.
Guaranteed pedestrian crosswalks every mile.
Question 7: On two-lane roads with this sign, why might you lower your gear?
Lower gears give better engine braking and control on loose or sloped unpaved surfaces.
Lower gear increases top speed to cruise the dirt quickly.
Lower gear disables ABS for more braking power.
Question 8: Does the paved road end sign require you to stop before proceeding?
Yes, you're legally required to come to a full stop.
No, it warns of a surface change but does not require a stop unless other signs say so.
Only if driving a commercial vehicle.
Question 9: How should motorcyclists change their riding approach after seeing the sign?
Stand on footpegs and accelerate through gravel.
Increase lean angle to counteract gravel sliding.
Reduce speed, sit centrally, and be prepared for loose surfaces and uneven edges.
Question 10: How might heavy rain interact with the road condition after pavement ends?
Rain can create mud, ruts, and poor traction, making the surface much more hazardous.
Rain immediately improves traction by compacting gravel.
Pavement will automatically reappear after a short distance in rain.
Question 11: If you plan to turn onto an unpaved side road marked by this sign, when should you slow down?
Maintain speed and use the horn before turning.
Brake sharply during the turn to minimize time on the unpaved surface.
Begin slowing well before the turn so braking happens on pavement, then complete the turn slowly.
