The most common warning signs are those of curves and these are discussed below:

  1. Curve to the left or right: Indicates an bend in the road to the left or right.
  2. Combined curves: These are a series of bends that are consecutive or simply said, one bend feeds into another
  3. Hair pin curve: Like the name infers to a hair pin, These corners are usually very sharp and turn almost 180 degrees.

As a driver, ensure you do the following things when approaching curves to ensure your safety and the safety of other road users:

  1. Slow down as you approach corners to avoid losing control when cornering
  2. Always stay on your side of the road. In Uganda it is the left side but for neighboring countries like Rwanda it is to the right.
  3. Do not overtake in corners. Since there is low visibility of what is ahead, overtaking in corners is strictly prohibited.
