| Deceptive Horizontal Curve | A horizontal curve or bend in the road that you cannot see around as you are driving |  |
| Deceptive Vertical Curve | A vertical curve or bend in the road that you cannot see around as you are driving |  |

| Combination of Hazards | Combination of the above hazards. | |
| Other | Alternative hazard not listed above. | |
