In the given situation you encounter the sign “Left curve”, and it warns you that a curve to the left follows. When encountering the sign it is not mandatory the reduction of speed, but to the driver of the vehicle it is recommended, from the point of view of preventive conduct, to reduce the travelling speed and to drive with caution.

The reduction of the travelling speed is mandatory only in particularly dangerous curves, more exactly where the sign “Particularly dangerous curve” is installed, or in the curves in which visibility is less than 50 meters. In the curves in which visibility is less than 50 meters, besides the obligation regarding the travelling speed, all manoeuvres are prohibited (overtaking, stopping, waiting, moving in reverse and U-turn).
