Warning signs

Double bend or series of bends ahead, first to the left

Double bend or series of bends ahead, first to the left sign

What it means

A run of bends is coming and the first one goes left. You get this on twisty country roads where the bends are too close together to sign one at a time. Get your speed down before the first one and stay settled, rather than accelerating hard out of one bend straight into the next.
