sharp curve
Road's abrupt turn
A sharp curve is a bend in a road or path that turns abruptly rather than gradually, requiring significant steering adjustment or reduced speed: Slow down—there's a sharp curve ahead.
The phrase appears frequently on warning signs and in driving contexts.
Any line or trajectory can have a sharp curve where direction changes suddenly rather than gently.
