“Here’s another sign related to being out and about and negotiating hills. It’s to help you sort out a problem. If you’re going down a hill and you can’t slow the car down.
This is called an escape route and the diagram shows where the road would be. If you can’t control your speed going down the hill, this might be a great opportunity, It’s probably filled with loose sand and, as you’re driving to that, you’ll slow down really quickly.
It’s especially there for big vehicles like trucks, buses and coaches. So, you don’t want to be there. You’ll have to get the breakdown trucks to get you out. So control your speed, look at the warning signs, get the low gear to control your engine braking. Okay, take care on that one.”
