What it means
The P-32 sign warns of an obstruction on the carriageway. It means that farther ahead there may be an obstacle, partial occupation, or situation reducing the available space for driving, so you must approach with margin and be ready to change path if the signing allows it. It usually appears before roadworks, incidents, immobilised vehicles, fallen loads, or signed point narrowings. When you see it, moderate speed, watch the affected lane, and respect later indications. In the test they often check that you interpret it as a danger from an obstacle, not as automatic authorisation to enter the opposite direction.
