Show answer

Correct answer

  • CQue el camión ralentice considerablemente su marcha.The lorry may slow down considerably.
Explanation

The sign warns of the danger of a steep uphill gradient, a climb, so you can expect the lorry, being a heavy vehicle, to slow down. The figure on the sign shows the gradient as a percentage. Do not confuse the steep ascent and steep descent signs: on the ascent sign the numbers go up the slope, and on the descent sign they go down it.
