Explanation
Steep downhill gradient
Indicates **danger** due to the presence of a **section of road with a steep downhill gradient**.
The **number on the sign** shows the **gradient of the slope as a percentage**.
For example, a **10%** gradient means that, over a **100-metre** section, the vehicle **descends 10 metres** in height.
This sign warns the driver to **adjust their speed**, use **low gears** correctly and exercise **extreme caution** on the descent.
