Explanation
The "Pavement Ends" warning sign alerts drivers that the road surface ahead will change from pavement to a loose surface, such as gravel or dirt. This change can reduce traction and affect your ability to steer and brake safely. Slow down before reaching the unpaved section, and keep both hands on the steering wheel to maintain control. Be prepared for a rougher, uneven surface where your tires may not grip as well.
This sign is commonly posted on rural or unmaintained roads where road conditions can change suddenly.
