Meaning of Dip Sign

Dip signs indicate that there is a dip or low place in the road. Drivers should slow down when seeing this sign. It's dangerous to encounter this sharp depression in the road at a high speed. You have to watch out for low areas of the road when it is raining or just after the rain. Water may accumulate in the dip and driving through the water at high speeds may cause hydroplaning.

Location

This sign is often found next to a sharp depression in the road.

Heads-ups

• When you encounter a dip sign, the best course of action to take will always be to slow down in preparation for going through the depressed area ahead.
  Be extra cautious after a rain or in icy conditions as vehicles can hydroplane.
