Comment

This traffic sign warns you of an incline of up to 10%. This means that you must be aware of the longer braking distance, which arises at this incline in contrast to a plane road. Since the brakes may become hot during extended braking and may lose function, it is important that the driver shifts to a lower gear to take advantage of the engine braking effect. Under no circumstances should you disengage.
