Question: A 'Pavement Ends' or 'Loose Gravel' sign means:
Answer options:
- Smooth road ✅ Reduce speed, traction may be reduced
- Highway begins
- Detour
Correct answer: Reduce speed, traction may be reduced
Explanation: This diamond-shaped warning sign alerts drivers that the paved road surface is transitioning to gravel or dirt. Drivers must reduce their speed because loose gravel significantly decreases tire traction, increasing the risk of sliding or losing control. Incorrect options like a smooth road, a beginning highway, or a detour are wrong because they do not reflect this hazardous change in surface material. Under Ontario's Driver's Handbook, yellow warning signs dictate cautionary adjustments to driving behavior, such as slowing down for changing conditions. On the G1 exam, mastering warning signs is essential as the test frequently assesses your ability to identify hazards and respond appropriately.
