Which warning sign indicates humps for 1/2 mile?

• A. A triangular warning sign showing two humps and the text '1/2 mile'
• B. A triangular warning sign showing a single hump with the text '1/2 mile'
• C. A circular sign with a bump icon
• D. A square sign with a winding road

Answer: (A)

In the UK, warning signs are triangles with a red border, and when a hazard lasts over a distance there’s often a plate below showing the distance. A sign depicting two small humps inside the triangle signals road humps ahead, and the accompanying plate with “1/2 mile” tells you this will continue for half a mile. So, this combination clearly communicates both the type of hazard (humps) and how long it lasts, which is why it’s the best choice. The single-hump version would indicate just one hump rather than multiple over a distance. A circular sign isn’t a warning triangle and would convey a different instruction, and a square sign with a winding road isn’t the symbol for humps at all.
