To avoid throwing up loose chippingsThis was the right answer
This sign is usually accompanied by a reduced speed limit. When chippings fly out from your tyres, they can cause a lot of damage to other vehicles, or injury to pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Slowing down will reduce the risk.
