If a speed limit is not posted before a curve on the highway, you should reduce your speed based on the road conditions, visibility, and the sharpness of the curve. Use your judgment to maintain a safe speed that allows for control of your vehicle. Additionally, be aware of other vehicles and adjust accordingly to ensure safety for yourself and others. Always prioritize caution in areas where speed limits are unclear.
What else can I help you with?
When you should enter a curve slower than the posted speed limit?
Road conditions are slippery
A highway curve is to be laid out on a circle. what should be the radius of the curve if there is to be a change of direction of 18 degrees in a distance of 180 meters?
Answer is radius = 1800/pi metres
Why is it that when approaching a curve on a highway signs are posted to reduce speed?
This is not related to physics but to the driver's attention when approaching a curve. If the speed is kept the same, it's more difficult to control the vehicle specially if the driver is stressed, drunk, tired or sleepy. The probability of an accident would increase on this situation.
What is a good sentence for curve?
The curve in the road was thick with ice, causing many accidents on the highway.
Can you over stear your car when on a curve on a highway?
Yes
When driving a slow moving vehicle on a two lane highway when should you pull over?
ONLY when there's a wide shoulder or a parking lot, and the highway is straight and not near a curve straight ahead.
What should you do when driving through a curve?
The majority of curves will begin with a warning sign and speed limit. Most importantly, slow your vehicle to the posted speed by braking before the curve. As you enter the curve, steer in the middle of your lane. Avoid hugging either sides. Half way into the curve, slowly begin to accelerate to move vehicle weight from the front to the rear which provides excellent handling and less front tire wear. Remember, prepare to control your speed before the curve, start to resume your speed half way into the curve.
No passing to the left should be done when?
No passing to the left should be done when you are approaching a crest or curve in the highway. A driver's view is obstructed during these times and passing would be dangerous.
Enter a curve SLOWER than the posted speed if?
if road conditions are bad and/or you are entering a blind curve
What are the two special conditions where you should downshift?
1) before starting down a hill 2) before entering a curve
When you come to a sharp curve in the road when should you brake?
You should begin to brake before you reach the sharp curve, ideally while you are still on the straight section of the road. This allows you to reduce your speed adequately and maintain control as you enter the curve. Braking too late, while in the curve, can lead to losing traction and possibly skidding. Always assess the curve's sharpness and road conditions to determine the appropriate speed before entering.
A car travels a highway 55 miles per hour what is its speed and acceleration?
Its speed is 55 mph, and if the highway doesn't curve, then its acceleration is zero.
