it's a grade sign originally used to notify large trucks of the grade percentage so driver's can prepare for decent or asscent by choosing the proper gear.

its the grade of the slope. if its, say, 6%, then that means you are droping 6 feet for every 100 feet of distance travled.

It's an uphill or a downhill grade. the number tells how steep it is.

An ADVISORY sign of a STEEP HILL AHEAD to drivers, especially those of heavy vehicles, and advises the driver of the steepness of the hill as a percentage from the flat. IE, 10% is a ten ft drop in 100ft. 45% is a drop of 45 feet in 100 feet.
As far as the name of the hill, it depends on the location of the sign and the local name of the hill.

Okay, I live in Louisiana, where it's totally flat, so I've never seen that one. Could it have something to do with grade?
