Conditions Associated with Specific Warning Signs

Table 2-2 lists the signs that are associated with the
two
conditions (A and B) used in Table 2-1.
Condition B is separated into warning signs that require a stop, and warning signs that require a speed reduction. Two other conditions are included that do not pertain to Table 2-1: warning signs that do not require a speed reduction, and warning signs that are placed at the road hazard.
