The fog in Chongqing is like ink painting. What should I pay attention to when traveling in foggy weather?

In autumn and winter, the weather turns cold and foggy weather often occurs. Among the mountain cities in Chongqing, it is really unique to see the distant mountains in the fog. The fog is really beautiful, but the fog also brings a lot of inconvenience. Pay attention to these two aspects when traveling in foggy days, one is personal protection, and the other is travel safety.

Two fogs left a deep impression on me. Once in Jinan, the visibility was only a few meters. I can't see the landmarks around me. I got off one stop early and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Because I can't see the landmark building and can't read the map, I can only feel my way and follow the crowd. Really helpless. Another time I went to work from home in the morning, and the fog kept falling. In some places, I can't see anything clearly. In some places, driving in fog is very unsafe.

In fact, if you can adjust your travel plan in foggy days, you'd better adjust your travel plan, because it's safest not to go out, but if you really want to go out, you should be prepared from these two aspects.

First, in terms of personal protection, in foggy days, a large number of pollutants gather at the height of people's activities, and some toxic substances are more toxic when combined with rainwater. If you stay in the fog for a long time, it will do great harm to the human respiratory tract, especially to children and the elderly, as well as people with sensitive respiratory tract and diseases. And people with sensitive skin try to protect themselves, so these people try not to go out. If you go out, wear a mask and scarf, protect your skin and respiratory tract, shorten your time outside, and try to cancel indoor and outdoor sports directly.

The other is travel safety. If you are walking, you must walk on the sidewalk, don't listen to music or wear headphones, and always pay attention to the surrounding environment. Bicycles and electric cars must slow down and drive to the side. When driving, turn on the fog lights, keep a safe distance from the car in front, and drive slowly. If you can't see clearly, you can turn on the low beam and warning light, pull over and wait until the fog clears or is a little lighter before driving away.
