Texas Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs
While driving you see a yellow diamond-shaped sign reading 'BUMP'. What does it indicate?
Answer choices
- A traffic signal is ahead; prepare to slow or stop.
- A roundabout (circular intersection) is ahead; slow down and prepare to yield.
- There is a bump or raised surface in the road ahead.— Correct answer
- Watch for bicycles crossing or sharing the road ahead.
Why this is the answer
A sign reading BUMP warns of a sudden high place in the road. Ease off your speed so you don't lose control or get jolted. It differs from the warning for a low place in the road, and it has nothing to do with signals, roundabouts or bicycle crossings. Slowing before the bump keeps your vehicle steady.
