What must you anticipate with this road sign?

Your answer is fully correct. This warning sign indicates that you must anticipate several potential hazards near the road caused by trees close to the roadway. First, branches or trees may protrude into the road area, reducing the available space for vehicles. Second, fallen branches or twigs might lie on the roadway, which can be hazardous or cause vehicles to swerve. Third, because of these obstacles or narrowed space, other vehicles may need to swerve suddenly to avoid branches or debris. In German traffic rules, this sign advises drivers to be especially cautious, reduce speed, and stay alert to avoid accidents caused by these natural hazards near the road.
