Which sign indicates the risk of ice on the road?

• A. Slippery road when wet
• B. Road works
• C. Risk of ice
• D. End of restrictions

Answer: (C)

Warning signs alert you to hazards ahead, and the one that shows risk of ice warns that the road surface may be icy. Ice reduces grip, can be hard to see as patches of black ice, and can form when temperatures are around freezing or after frosty conditions. When you see this sign, slow down, avoid sudden braking or steering, and increase your stopping distance because your usual grip may be unreliable. The sign for slippery road when wet is about surfaces that are wet and slippery, not specifically icy, so it signals a different condition. The other options indicate road works or the end of restrictions, which are unrelated to ice hazards.
