Near freezing temperatures, why should you use extra caution on a bridge even if the approaching roadway looks clear?
Correct answer: The bridge may freeze before the ordinary roadway.
Why
Bridges and overpasses can freeze before nearby roads. Reduce speed before reaching a potentially icy surface and avoid abrupt braking, steering or acceleration on it. A clear approach does not guarantee a clear bridge.
