Morphology
The meaning 'a road with many curves' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'curvy' (having graceful curves) with 'road' (a vehicle/pedestrian route). This simple adjective+noun composition follows standard, cross-linguistically common patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Curvy road describes exactly what it sounds like: a road that is curvy, bending and winding instead of going straight. So it simply means 'a road with many curves', and drivers should slow down.
