Some time ago, Hubei ushered in severe freezing rain weather, which brought great inconvenience to Hubei's traffic. The road surface was icy, it was difficult for vehicles to drive, and many highways and bridges were closed.
The hazards of freezing rain should not be underestimated, and it can not only affect traffic, but also cause serious damage to power and communication facilities. First of all, freezing rain can cause the road surface to freeze, making the vehicle susceptible to skidding and traffic accidents while driving. Especially on highways and bridges, the hazards of freezing rain are more obvious, because these places have a large traffic flow and fast vehicle speed, and once an accident occurs, the consequences are often more serious. In addition, freezing rain can cause potholes on the road, posing a safety hazard for pedestrians and cyclists.
Secondly, freezing rain can have a great impact on power facilities. Freezing rain can cause power lines to freeze, making them fragile and breakable, leading to power outages. Especially in rural and mountainous areas, power facilities are relatively weak, and once freezing rain occurs, power is often seriously affected, which brings great inconvenience to the production and life of local residents.
In addition, freezing rain can cause damage to communication facilities. Freezing rain can cause communication lines to freeze, blocking or interrupting signal transmission, which not only affects people's normal communication, but also may affect rescue and disaster relief efforts. For example, in freezing rain, rescue teams may lose contact with the outside world, delaying rescue time.
Therefore, we need to take effective measures to deal with freezing rain. You should also pay attention to your own safety, try to avoid traveling in freezing rain** or choose a safe way to travel.
