Which location would most likely have the Falling or Fallen Rocks sign?

• A. Along a Cliff or Rocky Hillside
• B. Inside a City Centre
• C. Near a School
• D. On a Flat Plain

Answer: (A)

Rockfall hazards come from cliffs or rocky faces beside a road. The Falling or Fallen Rocks sign warns drivers that rocks may come down onto the carriageway from such features. So it would be placed along a cliff or rocky hillside where loose material can shed onto the road. In a city centre, near a school, or on a flat plain, there isn’t typically this kind of rock danger, so those locations aren’t where you’d expect this warning. If you see this sign, slow down, keep an eye on the rock faces above and on the road surface for any debris, and be prepared to stop if rocks are on the roadway.
