blind curve
Unseen road turn
A blind curve is a bend in a road where drivers cannot see oncoming traffic or obstacles until they are very close, typically because of obstructions like hills, vegetation, or walls.
The term emphasizes the danger of limited visibility, warning drivers to slow down and stay in their lane.
Take it easy around that blind curve—you never know what's coming.
