Can I walk under the snowy highway?

You can walk on the highway under heavy snow.

In snowy weather, the expressway can still pass, but there will be some special restrictions and precautions. First of all, cars have a speed limit of 80 kilometers, while trucks and buses have a speed limit of 60 kilometers. Secondly, if the snow is heavy and affects traffic safety, the highway management department may close the highway. At this time, the driver should drive slowly, turn on the anti-fog lights and double flashing, and keep enough distance between cars. In addition, there will be a special person responsible for snow removal on the expressway. In extreme cases, if the road surface is wet and slippery, which seriously affects the driving safety, the expressway can decide to close the road according to the road surface condition. In this case, the driver should stop and send out a distress signal, waiting for the rescue and command of the traffic management department.

Safety management of expressway;

1. Traffic monitoring system: used to monitor the traffic conditions on the expressway in real time, including traffic volume and accidents;

2. Emergency rescue mechanism: in case of traffic accidents or other emergencies, ensure rapid response and provide rescue;

3. Pavement maintenance: check and maintain the expressway regularly to ensure the smoothness and accessibility of the pavement;

4. Meteorological information service: provide weather forecast along the expressway, especially severe weather warning for drivers' reference;

5. Traffic signs and signals: Set clear traffic signs and signal lights to guide drivers to drive correctly;

6. Patrol law enforcement: High-speed traffic police patrol regularly to investigate and deal with illegal acts and maintain traffic order.

To sum up, in snowy days, although the expressway maintains its capacity, it is still necessary to observe the reduced speed limit (80 km/h for cars and 60 km/h for trucks and buses), and pay attention to possible road closures. Drivers should slow down, use anti-fog lights and double flashing, keep a safe distance between cars, and pay attention to the work of snow sweepers. When extreme weather causes the road to be slippery, stop and wait for rescue to ensure driving safety.
