Which environmental elements can significantly reduce visibility on a dangerous curve?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On dangerous curves, especially those with reduced visibility, the topography of the terrain and natural elements located on the inner edge of the curve are the main factors limiting the visual field. Trees, bushes, embankments, or other natural obstacles block the driver's line of sight, preventing them from seeing the exit of the curve or the presence of other road users and unforeseen obstacles. Unlike these, vertical signs and information panels are designed and strategically placed to warn and inform, not to obscure the road. The fundamental safety rule in these situations is to adapt speed so that the stopping distance is less than the available visibility distance.
