Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
The air temperature is near freezing. The approaching bridge looks clear, although nearby pavement is not icy. What should you expect?
Correct answer: The bridge may be icy; slow down before reaching it.
Why
Bridges and overpasses can ice before nearby road surfaces because air circulates above and below them. Treat a clear-looking surface cautiously near freezing. Reduce speed smoothly and avoid abrupt steering or braking.
