Hairpin curve road sign (CURVA CERRADA)
What do I do?

Brake before the bend, stay in your lane, and leave room for a larger vehicle that may need extra space through the turn.

This warning marks an exceptionally sharp turn. Approach speed matters more than the speed you think you can hold once you are already in it.
