About This Sign
The bridge ahead is not as wide as the road. Slow down and use caution. There may be little or no shoulder, so keep to the center of your lane and do not try to pass on the bridge.
Where you will see it
You meet this sign before a bridge that is not as wide as the road leading to it, so there is less room on the bridge than you are used to.
What to do
- Slow down before you reach the bridge.
- Keep to the center of your lane on the bridge.
- Do not try to pass another vehicle while on the bridge.
A common mistake
Drivers sometimes drift toward the edge to give oncoming vehicles room. The bridge may have little or no shoulder, so staying centered is safer.
What to remember for the test
Remember the three points: slow down, stay centered in your lane, and never pass on the bridge. The bridge is narrower than the road, not just the lane.
