sharp curves
Sudden road angles
Sharp curves are bends in a road or path that turn abruptly rather than gradually, requiring drivers to slow down significantly.
Road signs warn of sharp curves ahead.
The phrase extends to any sudden directional change: The plot takes some sharp curves in the final act.
A sharp curve can catch the unwary off guard.
