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 obligatory the reduction of speed, but it is recommended to the driver of the vehicle, 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 obligatory only in particularly dangerous curves, more exactly where the sign “Particularly dangerous curve” is installed, or in curves where the visibility is less than 50 metres. In curves where the visibility is less than 50 metres, besides the obligation regarding the travelling speed, all manoeuvres are prohibited (overtaking, stopping, waiting, moving in reverse and U-turn).
