According to the latest warning of the meteorological department, the weather in Hubei is about to encounter a great change in cold and warm, from the evening of the 18th to the 24th, there is a cold wave and strong wind, low temperature rain, snow and freezing weather in our city, and the local average temperature has dropped by more than 20! It is expected that the city's roads will be frosted, icy and other phenomena, and the middle of the school will start and the Spring Festival will return, which will have a greater impact on traffic travel. Here, the Wuhan traffic police remind the general public that please pay close attention to the road conditions, try to choose public transportation, self-driving vehicles please plan the route reasonably, check the vehicle condition, pay attention to speed reduction and distance control, to avoid accidents.
The Wuhan traffic police launched the emergency plan for road traffic management in bad weather, focusing on increasing the control of key icy road sections such as expressways, ring expressways, bridges and tunnels across the river, and "three stations and one station" (see the attached table for details). Wuhan traffic police reminded the majority of drivers that in low temperature weather, bridges, viaducts, culverts, and tunnels are easy to freeze in the morning and evening, and the speed is too fast or too close to the car is easy to cause vehicle rear-end collisions.
Morning and evening rush hour traffic warnings.
During the start of the school year and the return of the Spring Festival, the traffic pressure on the road network will be greater due to the superposition of commuter traffic and traffic in and out of the city during the morning and evening rush hours. The morning peak congestion period is mainly concentrated between 7:30 and 8:40, and the peak of the congestion delay index is reached at about 8 o'clock. During the evening rush hour, the Changqing Road Elevated, Baofeng Road Elevated, Yuehu Bridge, Happy Avenue, Xiongchu Avenue Elevated and other sections of the urban expressway, bridges and tunnels are expected to be congested from 17 o'clock to 19 o'clock.
Wuhan traffic police reminded the general public to avoid peak travel hours, reasonably plan travel modes and avoid congestion routes, and try to choose public transportation for green travel. Citizens traveling by car should not rush the road, add congestion, or run red lights during the driving process to avoid traffic accidents.
Beware of accidents in cold weather.
According to the analysis of the Wuhan Traffic Police Traffic Safety Risk Prevention and Control Center, traffic accidents are on the rise in the city under bad weather such as low temperature rain, fog, and snow. In bad weather, the bridges and ring roads in the central urban area, the highways, passages in and out of the city and national and provincial highways in the suburbs and new urban areas are accident-prone sections, and the waterfront bridge sections of the Fourth Ring Road (Houguanhu Bridge, Fuhe Bridge, Houhu Bridge, Xiaocaihu Bridge, Tangxun Lake Section, etc.) are especially reminded that the risk of traffic accidents is higher in bad weather such as rain, fog and snow.
In addition, during inclement weather, the morning peak (5 a.m. to 9 a.m.) is an accident-prone period, with frequent accidents involving cars and pedestrians, and the accident rates of heavy goods vehicles and large buses also increasing to varying degrees. Wuhan traffic police reminded that in low temperature and bad weather, the waterfront viaduct is easy to freeze, causing accidents; In addition, in bad weather, vehicle rear-end collisions, rollovers, and side-skid accidents occur mostly due to the driver's excessive speed, improper operation, overloading, etc.; In addition, accidents occur frequently at night and in the early morning, and various factors such as untimely evacuation of vehicles, poor line of sight, and longer braking distance are prone to cause secondary accidents.

Safe driving tips.
1. When driving in bad weather in rain and snow, please check the tires, brakes, lights, wipers and other devices in advance to ensure good safety performance.
2. When passing through bridges, viaducts, culverts, tunnels and other sections that are prone to ice, pay attention to maintaining low speed, especially in areas such as upper and lower viaducts, bridges, ramps, etc., and pay attention to slowing down and passing slowly. When driving on ice and snow roads, the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and at the same time, you should pay attention to keep a sufficient safety distance from the vehicle in front of you, and do not change lanes at will to "add congestion".
3. When there is a slippage on the ice, do not brake suddenly, do not slam the direction, lightly press the brakes to slow down until the vehicle is fully controlled, and let the car stop slowly.
4. The road surface is slippery in rainy and snowy weather, and riding an electric bicycle is prone to rollover, falling, etc., so try to choose public transportation in case of bad weather to avoid cycling.
5. When encountering heavy fog in highway driving, slow down and turn on tail lights, fog lights, alarm flashing lights, marker lights and low beams; Do not drive fatigued, keep a safe distance, do not roll the line, do not overtake, and drive away from the nearest highway or into the service area; When there is sometimes fog and sometimes no fog on the road, do not let your guard down and slow down in advance before entering the fog area.
6. In the event of a minor traffic accident where no one is injured and the car is moving, please evacuate the scene quickly after taking photos for evidence, move the car to a place that does not affect the traffic, and negotiate it through the traffic management 12123app. After an accident, do not argue or stay in the middle of the road to avoid causing a secondary accident.
