Precautions for driving on Hero Bridge

Under normal circumstances, fog, strong wind, snow and ice, heavy rain and other common bad weather in the south will have an impact on the passage of the bridge. In view of the above situation, the bridge design can resist the river wind of 12 and above, and at the same time, on the basis of Nanchang's ordinary 6-degree seismic grade, the seismic grade of the bridge is raised to 7, which can effectively deal with sudden natural disasters. After the bridge is opened to traffic, if the visibility is extremely low in foggy weather or the bridge deck is severely frozen due to snow and ice, the bridge may be temporarily closed. However, as long as the driving conditions are restored, the traffic police department will limit the speed and drive a police car to lead the way and bring the stranded vehicles to the bridge. On snowy days, clear the icy road first, and then the police car will lead the way to restore traffic. Generally, rainy days will not affect the normal running of vehicles on the bridge. However, when encountering the influence of crosswind or the slippery direction of the road, the driver should not slam on the brakes. Instead, they should slow down first, hold the steering wheel with both hands at the same time, release the accelerator, and then lightly brake when the direction is right.

The main deck of the bridge has eight lanes in two directions, which are divided into left and right widths. The speed limit for one-way driving is 60 km/h, and any lane can be used as an emergency lane. In order to ensure the safety of traffic and bridges, protective fences, traffic signs and reflective signs were set up in the middle and along the two bridges. In order to let drivers know more about the road conditions, signs and ground signs will be set up before the exit, and non-motor vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from getting on the bridge.
