On the 22nd and 25th, the Lanzhou-Dingxi Expressway failed to take any measures due to icy roads due to rain and snow, causing more than 100 serious casualties. Is the expressway responsible?

This issue requires analysis of specific circumstances to determine whether the highway management department is responsible.

1. Accidents that occur in bad weather are usually classified as force majeure and are not intentional on the expressway, so there is no need for responsibility.

2. The expressway is responsible only if it fails to deal with the problem within a reasonable time after receiving information about icy road conditions.

3. In bad weather, the expressway failed to conduct road inspections in accordance with national regulations and system regulations, resulting in delays in processing. The expressway is responsible.

4. Road closures are within the purview of the traffic police, and highways cannot decide to close roads on their own.

So, when you say that ice on the road caused the accident, it depends on whether the above points can be applied to determine whether the highway is responsible.
