3 . TAKE ADVISORY SPEED SIGNS SERIOUSLY
We all know that we need to obey regular speed limit signs , but what about those yellow speed advisory signs you see before a sharp corner or some other traffic hazard ?
While it may not be the law to obey these speed signs , I can assure you it is a very good idea to take notice of them when towing a big trailer . The people who put these signs in place don ’ t do it for fun . There is a very good reason for them , such as the frequency of crashes that happen at the location .
If you see one of these speed advisory signs , we strongly suggest you do exactly as they say . For instance , if you take a corner at too high a speed , it will be very difficult to safely slow down midway through once you ’ re committed .
You may not be legally required to obey this sign but we strongly advise you to take notice of it and do as it suggests
In hot weather , we like to be parked in the shade by around lunchtime to avoid the heat of the afternoon
