blind curves
Hidden road turns
Blind curves are turns in a road where the driver cannot see oncoming traffic or obstacles until rounding them.
The danger lies in what's hidden—a stalled car, a cyclist, a sharp drop.
Warning signs often mark them: Slow down for blind curves ahead.
The term applies anywhere visibility is obstructed at a bend.
