33.1.76. Which of the following road signs warns that there is a section of road ahead with increased slipperiness of the carriageway?
UAЯкий з наведених дорожніх знаків попереджає, що попереду ділянка дороги з підвищеною слизькістю проїзної частини?
This is an exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine concerning road safety and the ability to recognize in advance hazards related to road surface conditions. Warning road signs are important because they give the driver time to adjust speed and driving style before entering a risky section, where skidding, increased braking distance, and loss of tire traction with the roadway are possible.
The question tests knowledge of Section 33 of the Traffic Rules, specifically group 1 "Warning signs" (item 33.1) and understanding the meaning of sign 1.13 "Slippery road" (item 33.1.13). In the theoretical exam, it is important not just to "recognize the picture," but to clearly know that this sign specifically warns about increased slipperiness of the surface, which may occur due to ice, packed snow, wet leaves, spilled oil, or other conditions.
The correct option among the answers is the sign corresponding to 1.13 "Slippery road" (in the test, it is marked as option 2): it belongs to the warning signs and directly indicates the risk of skidding and sliding. The other depicted signs are not suitable if they do not belong to the warning group or warn about a different type of hazard (for example, road geometry, obstacle, or another condition), and not about slippery pavement as the cause of loss of traction.
In practice, knowing this sign helps you act correctly: reduce speed to a safe level, increase following distance, avoid sudden braking and maneuvers, and be prepared for the fact that outside populated areas the sign may be repeated closer to the dangerous section. Also, supplementary plates may be used with it to specify the conditions under which the surface becomes slippery, which is additionally important for correctly assessing the road situation.
Clause 33.1 — 33 "Road Signs", 1 "Warning Signs"
Warning signs inform drivers about approaching a dangerous section of the road and the nature of the danger.
This clause checks the understanding that the required sign must belong to the group of warning signs and specifically indicate a danger ahead.
Clause 33.1.13 — 33 "Road Signs", 1 "Warning Signs", sign 1.13 "Slippery Road"
"Slippery Road" — a section of the road with increased slipperiness of the carriageway.
This clause checks the ability to recognize sign 1.13 and know that it specifically warns about increased slipperiness of the surface.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Sign 2.", considering that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, sign 1.13 "Slippery Road" warns about a section of the road with increased slipperiness of the carriageway.
In this question, you need to recognize the warning sign that informs the driver that tire grip on the road ahead may suddenly deteriorate. In the Traffic Rules of Ukraine, this is defined in section 33 as sign 1.13, which warns of a section of road with increased slipperiness of the carriageway.
Sign 1.13 means that the upcoming section of the surface may be so slippery that the vehicle can skid even during normal maneuvers: while braking, turning, or changing lanes. Typical causes include ice, wet leaves, packed snow, spilled oil, or other conditions that make the grip insufficient.
It is important to understand that this sign specifically warns about the dangerous property of the surface, not about the shape of the road or another obstacle. Therefore, among the given options, the correct one is the warning triangle with a symbol indicating possible skidding (slipping) of the vehicle.
Also, in practice, the sign may be duplicated closer to the dangerous spot outside populated areas, and sometimes additional plates are installed with it to specify the conditions under which the road becomes slippery (for example, during rain or at low temperatures).
Thus, the correct answer is "Sign 2," as it corresponds to sign 1.13 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine and warns of a section of road with increased slipperiness of the carriageway, where skidding and reduced tire grip with the surface are possible.
