What does a diamond-shaped sign usually tell you?
The rule
Diamond-shaped signs warn of special conditions or hazards ahead; be ready to slow down.
Diamond-shaped signs are warning signs. They tell you about dangers or road conditions ahead, such as curves, so you can get ready.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 4, page 20. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
