With the arrival of winter, foggy weather occurs from time to time in southeastern Hebei, central and western Shandong. In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the smooth flow of traffic, the ** Meteorological Observatory issued a red warning for fog in these areas at 06:00 on December 29. In such weather conditions, there are some legal issues and traffic rules that require our special attention.
First of all, foggy weather is a special weather condition for traffic participants, which requires us to pay extra attention to driving safety. According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, motor vehicles should maintain a safe speed while driving, and turn on fog lights, low beams, marker lights and front and rear position lights. At the same time, according to the law, when the visibility is less than 50 meters, the motor vehicle should immediately leave the highway or enter the service area, parking area and other safe areas to wait. This is to prevent traffic accidents caused by poor visibility.
In addition, in foggy weather, pedestrian and non-motorized traffic safety also needs to be taken care of. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles should try to avoid traveling in foggy days, and if they do need to travel, they should wear brightly colored clothing and carry reflective devices to ensure their own safety. At the same time, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles shall obey the traffic lights and the command of the traffic police, and shall not cross the road at will, run red lights, etc.
In addition to traffic safety, foggy weather can also raise a number of legal issues. For example, in foggy weather, some criminals may take advantage of the lack of visibility to carry out illegal transportation, theft, etc. The public security organs will seriously investigate and deal with these acts in accordance with the law. At the same time, because foggy weather may have an impact on public facilities, such as electricity, communications and other facilities may fail, therefore, relevant departments need to strengthen inspections and emergency repair work to ensure the normal operation of public facilities.
In conclusion, foggy weather is a weather condition that requires our special attention. When there is extremely strong fog in southeastern Hebei and central and western Shandong, we need to pay attention to traffic safety and comply with relevant laws and regulations, and at the same time strengthen our awareness of self-protection.
