Correct answer
the direction and strength of the wind.
When we come across a windsock positioned at the top of a mast on a road, it indicates to drivers travelling along it the direction and strength of the wind. These windsocks are especially useful for motorcyclists, who will know where the wind is coming from and can pay greater attention when the wind is a crosswind.
