What does the yellow bump warning sign mean?
A bump or uneven pavement is ahead. Slow down and keep control
This sign warns of a bump or uneven pavement on the road ahead. Slow down and keep firm control of your vehicle.
Why the other answers are wrong
-
A speed bump may be removed ahead
Warning signs tell you what the road does ahead, not what crews plan to change. Treat the word BUMP as a signal to slow down now.
-
A loading dock is ahead
Nothing on this sign mentions loading. Loading and unloading rules appear on regulatory parking signs at the curb, never on a yellow diamond about the road surface.
-
The road ahead is freshly paved and smooth
This is the opposite. A yellow diamond only appears where there is something to watch out for, so BUMP means uneven pavement, not fresh smooth asphalt.
Quick way to remember
Read the word: it describes the road surface ahead.
Based on the official Ontario MTO Driver's Handbook.
