Warning signs

Bump or uneven pavement

What it means

There is a bump or rough section of road ahead. Slow down.

Yellow diamonds (and five-sided yellow-green school signs) warn of hazards ahead.

Summarised from the Official MTO Driver’s Handbook. Read the original: MTO Driver’s Handbook – Signs ↗

How to recognise it

A yellow diamond with a black lumpy shape across the middle, like a rough road surface seen from the side.

Where you will see it

Frost heaves on rural roads in spring, railway crossings with a raised deck, and pavement joints on older bridges.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.Slow down before the bump so the car does not bottom out or lose its grip.
  2. 2.Hold the wheel firmly and keep control; do not brake on the bump itself.

On the G1 test

The handbook pairs the sign with slowing down and keeping control of your vehicle. Choose the answer with both parts.
