Signs that read "Hairpin Curve Ahead" alert drivers that the road is about to make a sharp turn known as a hairpin curve. These signs, which warn drivers of sharp curves ahead of time and help reduce the likelihood of accidents, are commonly posted along the sides of roads.
When it rains, the water that is already on the road causes the friction to decrease. When tires travel over a wet surface, the water fills in the little tiny pits that are on the road surface, which has the effect of effectively smoothing out the surface. Consequently, the average heat and friction generated are reduced, resulting in a character that is less grippy than when it is dry.
"No parking anytime" is a parking regulation that prohibits vehicles from parking in a specific area at any time, without exceptions. This regulation is typically indicated by signs or pavement markings that display the text "No parking anytime" or similar wording.
