Not quite. The answer is winding road.

The shape of the arrow tells you that you're entering a winding road. A winding road has at least three curves. Slow down and proceed with caution.

Not quite. The answer is Cars entering the rider's right of way

The greatest potential for multi-vehicle crashes is at intersections. At intersections, drivers entering your right of way is the most common cause of motorcycle and car accidents. Cars that turn left in front of you, including cars turning left from the lane to your right, and cars on side streets that pull into your lane, are the biggest dangers. Increase your chances of being seen at intersections by riding with your headlight on. Ride in a lane position that provides the best view of oncoming traffic. For example, if a car is stopped to your right, slow down and move to the left. Provide a space cushion around the motorcycle that permits you to take evasive action.
