    What does this traffic symbol mean?"
    Question

    What does this traffic symbol mean?"

    A.

    There is a vibration strip ahead

    B.

    There is a rough road ahead

    C.

    There are 2 speed breakers ahead

    D.

    There is a hilly road ahead

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) There is a rough road ahead
    Explanation:
    . The traffic symbol shown in the image is a Cautionary (Warning) Sign.
    . The symbol featuring a triangle with two consecutive humps or bumps indicates a "Rough Road".
    . It warns the driver that the road surface ahead is uneven, damaged, or not well-maintained.
    . Drivers are advised to reduce their speed to navigate the rough patch safely and avoid damage to the vehicle.
    . This sign is distinct from the "Speed Breaker" sign, which typically shows a single hump.
    Information Booster:
    . Cautionary/Warning signs are always enclosed in a triangle with a red border.
    . Mandatory/Regulatory signs (like "Stop" or "No Parking") are usually enclosed in a circle.
    . Informatory signs (like "Hospital ahead" or "Petrol Pump") are usually enclosed in a rectangle or square.
    Additional Knowledge:
    (a) There is a vibration strip ahead
    . Vibration strips (rumble strips) are usually marked directly on the road surface or indicated by text; there isn't a standard triangle symbol with two humps specifically for this.
    (c) There are 2 speed breakers ahead
    . While the image shows two humps, the standard definition in the Motor Vehicles Act rules for this specific icon is "Rough Road". The sign for a speed breaker typically has one single hump.
    (d) There is a hilly road ahead
    . Signs for hilly roads include "Steep Ascent" (car going up) or "Steep Descent" (car going down).
