Recently, many places in China have been hit by heavy snowfall, including rare heavy snowstorms in the northwest of Henan and the west of Henan. At the same time, the Xinjiang region has also been affected by sand and dust weather, which has caused serious traffic disruptions. According to the Road Network Center of the Ministry of Transport, as of 8 o'clock on February 20, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Henan, Xinjiang and other places have closed a total of 37 road sections and closed 503 toll stations, and the resumption time is to be determined.

Affected by snowfall and icy roads, Shanxi has become one of the hardest hit provinces. A total of 215 toll booths were closed and 28 road sections were closed across the province, involving multiple highways and national highways. Among them, the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway, G1812 Cangyu Expressway, G20 Qingyin Expressway and other main roads are all closed, which has brought great pressure to local traffic. The snowfall in Shanxi continues, and traffic conditions are expected to remain tight in the coming days.

At the same time, Shandong, Xinjiang and other places have also been affected by snowfall to varying degrees. A total of 199 toll stations were closed in Shandong, and 5 road sections were closed, mainly concentrated in the Qingdao area. ** The section of S302 Xiangzi Township to Diya Township has also been closed. Xinjiang was not only affected by snowfall, but also by sand and dust weather, which led to the closure of four road sections and the closure of five toll booths.

In addition to snowfall and dust, freezing rain and fog also occurred in some areas. Freezing rain occurred in the northwest of Hubei and other places, which brought certain troubles to local traffic. In eastern Zhejiang, central and southern Fujian, southern Guangdong and other places, foggy days and low visibility have brought hidden dangers to driving safety.

In the face of sudden natural disasters, local transportation departments quickly activated emergency plans and went all out to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. At present, all localities are actively organizing snow removal and de-icing work, and at the same time strengthening road patrols and traffic guidance to ensure driving safety. At the same time, the general public is also reminded to pay attention to travel safety and try to avoid going out in bad weather.

The snowfall and dust weather have had a serious impact on traffic in many places in China, and it also reminds us once again that in the face of natural disasters, we need to make full preparations and countermeasures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
