February 20-26.
As the first cold spell of the Year of the Dragon continues to move eastward and southward.
Most of our country will experience widespread rain and snow.
Travel in bad weather.
How should I plan my trip?
Highway driving.
What are the issues that need to be paid attention to?
Let's take a look at the week ahead.
The rain and snow swept through most of our country.
From the 20th to the 22nd, the rain and snow in the central and eastern parts will reach their peak. Affected by snowfall, some sections of highways such as Daguang, Erguang, Baomao, Beijing-Tibet, and Rongwu have a high risk of snow and icing. In addition, there is a high risk of slippery roads and water accumulation in some sections of expressways such as Beijing-Taipei, Hangzhou-Rui, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao and other expressways, so it is necessary to reduce the speed and control distance when driving to avoid sudden braking.
From the 23rd to the 26th, the second round of rain and snow freezing will also follow. Qinghai, Shaanxi, Henan and other places will have a wide range of snowfall, passing through Beijing-Tibet, Shanghai-Kunming, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao, Hangzhou-Rui and other high-speed sections, need to slow down, try to avoid frequent merging, lane changes, to prevent "slipping".
In the course of two rounds.
Freezing rain in Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and other places lasted for a long time.
From the 20th to the 22nd, freezing rain or ice particles will appear in parts of Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou and other places, and the strongest period will be from the 20th to the 21st.
From the 23rd to the 25th, freezing rain occurred frequently in northern Hunan, northern Guizhou and southern Hubei, and the freezing rain process overlapped with the freezing rain process from the 20th to the 22nd, and the risk of road icing was extremely high.
11 provinces closed 16 road sections.

Driving on the highway in bad weather.
What to look out for:
Before driving, please understand the meteorological information in advance, plan the driving route scientifically, and try to avoid the time period and road section affected by bad weather such as rain, snow, ice, fog and dust, so as to avoid unnecessary stay.
In rain, snow and freezing weather, the road surface is slippery, especially the bridge is easy to freeze and slip, so you should drive cautiously, increase the distance between vehicles, reduce the speed, slow down the direction, slowly step on the brakes, and reduce merging and overtaking.
In case of heavy rain and snow, fog, fog, wind and dust caused by poor sight distance, to reduce the speed in time, turn on the fog lights, low beams, marker lights and front and rear position lights, when the visibility is less than 100 meters, but also turn on the hazard warning flashing lights, when the visibility is less than 50 meters, to enter the service area or leave the highway by the nearest exit.
Traffic police in many places warmly rescued trapped passengers.
Recently, Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, has been affected by extreme weather, and the road surface has been iced, and the road traffic has been seriously blocked. At 12 o'clock on February 19, 158 tourists from Fujian, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, Dalian and other regions were stranded at the Yichun Expressway toll station and urgently needed to return to Harbin to catch a flight. After receiving the request for help, Yichun got in touch with the tour group as soon as possible and successfully escorted the tourists to their destination. This time, a total of 7 tour buses were introduced, and 158 tourists from all over the country returned safely.
On February 20, Hebei ushered in the first large-scale snowfall of the Year of the Dragon, and the Hebei Provincial Meteorological Disaster Prevention Headquarters launched a major meteorological disaster (blizzard) level emergency response order. The Hebei Provincial Meteorological Disaster Prevention Headquarters pointed out that the blizzard weather process was accompanied by strong cooling and windy weather, and the disaster risk was high. The Hebei Expressway Traffic Police Corps launched the "One Road and Three Parties" consultation mechanism to strengthen patrols and guidance to ensure the safety, stability and orderliness of the expressway.
Stay safe when traveling in the snow!
